Description

The Hedrick focuser designed by PlaneWave is a heavy duty no-slip focuser capable of handling a imaging payload of up to 20lbs. The focus tube runs on 5 bearings and is driven by a leadscrew so there is no chance of slipping. Focus may be automated through a computer using PlaneWave's EFA Kit add-on. The focuser comes with pre-installed motor that can be controlled with the EFA hand control or PWI PC software. The draw tube travel is 1.3 inch.

Emma D. ★★★★★

I was a little worried about hanging a heavy camera rig off this thing, but the 20lb payload rating held up without a hint of droop or slip during a full night of imaging. The leadscrew drive feels rock solid, and even with a cooled camera and filter wheel attached, focusing stays precise with zero

James E. ★★★★★

The 5-bearing focus tube is so smooth I can micro-focus without any image shift, even with a heavy camera rig attached. Handles my full imaging payload without any slippage—a huge upgrade from my previous focuser.

Riley ★★★★★

Finally got this installed on my imaging rig last night. The leadscrew drive feels incredibly solid, and it handled my camera and filter wheel combo with zero slippage. No more focus drift during those long narrowband exposures.
