Omegon 2" Crayford focuser - accurate focusing with the 1:10 reduction ratio
This new Crayford focuser gives you even more convenient observing with its precision mechanism and 1:10 reduction ratio fine focusing. The focuser offers smooth and extremely accurate focusing. At higher magnifications, simply use the 10X fine focus control to find the perfect point of focus.
Crayford focuser with 1:10 reduction ratio
Imagine you are observing the planet Jupiter at a high magnification. The seeing is not quite optimal. Just where is the point of optimal sharpness when trying to focus the planet? This is by no means always easy to decide. You can easily focus past the point of optimal sharpness. So do you then try and focus back to it again? Here is where the 1:10 reduction ratio focus control comes in very extremely handy - it allows you to find the optimal focus for your planet much more easily and accurately.
For 2" and 1.25" eyepieces
The focuser accepts both the larger (2") and the smaller (1.25") eyepieces. This gives you an advantage over simple 1.25" focusers - you can use the wider field of view provided by 2" eyepieces to enjoy more comfortably observing deep sky objects. You can use the built-in 1.25" reducer for using 1.25" eyepieces. The focuser has a single compression ring for holding both sizes of eyepiece - your eyepieces are clamped around their entire diameters and are hence always well protected.
Sharp images for astrophotography
Astrophotography is often carried out under difficult conditions, in the dark and in freezing cold. And every astrophotographer knows that getting astronomical objects sharply focused in the camera is by no means easy. The smooth 1:10 reduction ratio lets you sharply focus your object to see even the finest nuances. Why not make your astrophotography as easy as possible?
Easy to fit onto the advanced telescope
An Omegon advanced focuser can be attached to your Omegon advanced telescope in just a few minutes. The telescope itself comes supplied with the appropriate adapter. Simply slide the base of your focuser into the adapter and lock it in place with the two Allen grub-screws. It is now securely attached and is ready to be used for observing.
The advantages in a nutshell:
- metal Crayford focuser
- sensitive focusing with 1:10 reduction ratio
- accurate focusing even at high magnifications
- easy mounting onto advanced telescopes
- 2 inch extension with 1.25 inch reducer
- suitable for astrophotography (with optional adapter)
