Telescope Focuser

A 2" extension tube will sort you out there.
I was only looking at focusers today for the 20" as I'd also like the motor focuser option but am not sure is it worth the money.

Hi

Tried the focuser out again today, this time I left the 1.25" adapter in place, inserted the 8mm Hyperion and it focused, what a relief.

It seems that when I use the Hyperions in 2" mode they won't focus, in 1.25" mode they focus.

As I never break the EPs into the 2" mode only I'm set to go.

Now, what can be done about the weather?

What would the weight be like on your Obsessionator with a motor focus Dave?

Seanie.

I've just been looking at the focusers on the link you gave, and I see that the reflector focusers TS are selling look like they are re-badged GSO focusers. I picked up my GSO 2" Crayford focuser with 1:10 dual speed microfocuser low profile for €84 on ebay, TS are selling the same item for €168. Still awaiting delivery but it should arrive this week.

I think that TS and GSO, along with other brands, come from the same Chinese factory.

My TS 127mm refractor looks the exact same as the Antares 127mm and the Bresser and a few others I've seen on the web, the same scope, just different names.

It would make hardly no difference Seanie, probably a slight 10 second adjustment to the weights on the front of the scope, thats all.
