Nice cheap focuser

Wednesday, 28 March 2018 | Steve

This is not the best focuser on the market but is very good for the price. Nice smooth action and good fine focussing. I would not recommend if you expect it to carry a lot of weight such as a filter wheel or DSLR camera but for observing is great. I replaced the stock single speed focuser on Skywatcher 8" Dobsonian and was a direct replacement, no need to adjust the holes in the tube. As I say there are better focusers but probably 2 to 3X the price as well so for observing more than adequate.

Q1. What are the fixing hole centre dimensions of the Skywatcher low profile focuser?

The hole centre dimensions in the Skywatcher low profile focuser will fit 87mm hole centres along the length of the telescope tube and 80mm hole centres across the telescope tube.

Q2. Does this use a compression fitting to hold 2" and 1.25" eyepieces?

2" eyepieces and accessories are held by a brass compression ring.

1.25" eyepieces and accessories are held by an adapter in the 2" focuser tube. The adapter itself is able to compress around the 1.25" parts so they will not be marred but it doesn't use a brass compression ring.
