FLI PDF USB 2.0 focuser PICS Added

These currently retail (ex-FLI) for about US$1450 which become more like US$1700 (A$1900) including post and GST landed here. This one also comes with some adapters made for me by Ashley Stevens (Precise Parts) to connect to a Tak FSQ85 and a Tak reducer which cost another US$500 or so.

These are great focusers capable of dealing with solid loads. See the spec at http://www.flicamera.com/focusers/index.html

I'll let this one go (with all the adapters I have for it) for A$1000 plus post. I'll add some photos in the morning.

A quick look at my email has provided detail of a couple of those adapters:
" Custom adapter, FLI PDF Focuser to Tak FSQ-85EDX f/3.6 Reducer QE, L=0.100 in.
$162.00 USD
Custom adapter, Tak FSQ-85EDX to FLI PDF Focuser, L=0.089 in.
$168 USD

EDIT:
OK. Adapters. There's more of them that I remembered. There's one on the scope side to fit a Tak (72mm male thread;
There's a 2 inch male on the ccd side
A 3 inch female on the ccd side
A reducer fitting the 3 inch female and taking it down to 55mm female.

These have been bought to fit to various SX FW/OAG and/or Tak reducers - but of course they can be bought to fit any FW/CCD size you want.
