Baader Diamond Steeltrack BDS-SC 2" Focuser (SKU: 2957220)

The Baader Diamond Steeltrack BDS-SC 2" is an exceptional Crayford eyepiece extractor specifically designed to complement telescopes in the Schmidt-Cassegrain system. This durable and precise focuser is perfect for both astrophotography enthusiasts and visual observers.

What sets this extractor apart from its competitors is its unwavering commitment to material selection. The focuser mechanism is crafted from high-quality stainless steel, and a diamond layer is applied to the friction surface, creating an incredibly precise micro-gear. Combined with a meticulously designed bearing system, this guarantees seamless adjustment and perfect alignment, even when handling a load of up to 6 kg.

Thanks to its large internal diameter, this hood can accommodate full-frame cameras without the risk of vignetting. Additionally, it features baffles that effectively eliminate internal light reflections. For astrophotographers, a crucial feature is the ability to expand the focuser with an optional electronic focus control drive called the SteelDrive.
