Customer Reviews (4.8 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Abigail C. ★★★★★

The knob turns so smoothly that I can lock in focus without bumping the tube—it completely changed my imaging sessions. Took about ten minutes to swap onto my 2" focuser, and the fine control is a night-and-day difference.

Elizabeth ★★★★★

The fine adjustment is incredibly precise—just a tiny turn of the knob moves the focus by a hair. I was able to dial in perfect focus on my E-130D much faster than with the stock focuser. Definitely worth the upgrade for anyone doing astrophotography.

Timothy ★★★★★

I was nervous about the install, but the fit on my E-130D was perfect and the fine adjustment knob gives me precise control that was missing before. Focusing on faint galaxies is noticeably smoother now.
