Starlight Instruments Feather Touch FTF2515HD - Transparent 63mm (2.5") Aperture
This rack and pinion focuser is for all star lovers who need a focuser with more than 2" but still want it to be compact. Above all, the focuser offers better illumination, which is necessary for working with larger chips. The adjustment range is a fairly tight 38mm and therefore ideal for Newtonian telescopes where the drawtube should not protrude into the tube.This focuser is currently being praised as a better alternative to 2" focusers.
The advantages of the Feather Touch 2.5 focuser:
♦ 100% correct field level position - extension tube does not yield
♦ 63mm free illumination, so full frame chips are also illuminated
♦ Better mechanical processing
♦ Internal baffle system
♦ Careful clamping through spring tension ring
Technical information:
♦ Robust bulb housing - no torsion
♦ 1:10 micro reduction for precise focus
♦ Free adaptability to different devices with the adapter pieces (see recommended accessories)
♦ Brake (brake) for free adjustment of the resistance depending on the load and for a solid hold without moving the extension tube
♦ Friction-free rack and pinion - this means even better grip can be achieved
♦ Brass racks and hardened stainless steel gears ensure long life
