XLS: f/3.0 to f/5.0
Slide Position Locking Set Screws w/hex wrench.
Calibrated f/no. Ruler accessory marked in f/.1 increments.
Precision machined from T6061-T6 Aluminum & Black Delrin.
90-degree Intersecting .029" diameter Stainless Steel cross-hairs.

Larger-aperture, low f-ratio Newtonian telescopes with larger diagonal mirrors are becoming the norm, and the need for a precision 2" Sight Tube for properly positioning the Secondary beneath the focuser is a given. The Catseye line of "telescoping" sight tubes feature tuneable "length" capability to obtain the optimum tube-opening/Secondary "gap" resolution for insuring symmetrical intercept of the Primary light cone for maximum FOV illumination and contrast while maintaining axial registration via flush shoulder contact with the focuser draw-tube lip.

For Newtonian's with f-ratio's under f/4.7, the shorter "XLS" model (f/3.0 to f/5.0) is recommended for "seeing" that generous "oversized" Secondary (typical of imaging astrographs).
