Omegon 2'' SC Hybrid Crayford focuser, dual speed

Omegon Crayford Focuser for Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescopes - Enhance Your Astrophotography Experience

Achieving precise focus in astrophotography is pivotal, yet often daunting, particularly with Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes (SCTs). The inherent challenge lies in the slight wobbling of the primary mirror during the focusing process, known as 'mirror shift.' Thankfully, the new Omegon Crayford Focuser offers a seamless solution, enabling you to attain pinpoint accuracy swiftly and effortlessly.

Effortless Setup

Experience simplicity with the Omegon SC Crayford Focuser, designed for seamless integration with Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes. With a telescope-side thread that directly attaches to the standard SCT thread, setup takes merely two minutes, allowing you to focus rapidly and precisely without delay.

Improved Crayford Design

Embracing the 'Bearing Type' design, this enhanced Crayford focuser boasts roller ball bearings that ensure play-free focusing. Eight oversized rollers secure the focuser's tube firmly in place, facilitating silky-smooth adjustments. Complemented by a rack-and-pinion mechanism, this design prevents undesired shifting, ensuring stability throughout your observations.

Precision Focusing with 1:10 Reduction Gear

Featuring rubber-reinforced and lightly grooved focus wheels, the Omegon Crayford Focuser enables precise focusing, even at high magnifications. Multiple ball bearings support the inner tube, allowing for exceptionally sensitive adjustments. The inclusion of a 1:10 reduction gearing further enhances focusing accuracy, perfect for detailed imaging tasks.

High Load Capacity

Capable of accommodating heavy accessories weighing up to 8kg, including SLR cameras, large CCD cameras, off-axis guiders, and substantial 2-inch eyepieces, this focuser offers unparalleled versatility and reliability.

Astrophotography Ready

A locking screw ensures focus stability during astrophotography sessions, preventing accidental focus alterations. Unlike conventional Crayford designs, the locking screw isolates the focusing mechanism without clamping onto the inner tube, ensuring consistent centricity.
