ill chime in here.
i have a SW 10"
I reach focus with the standard SW focuser
DO NOT USE A LP FOCUSER ON THIS SCOPE
why you will have it almost racked all the way out to gain focus.
your eps will not focus at all......
-experience speaks loudest.
i have had to modifiy the components that interact with the focusser but it depends on the camera you mount to the tube.
if you have a DSLR aka 40d is my exp, a Low profile gso/bintel will not work properly the dslr is too heavy for the focuser i cannot speak about the normal profile focuser
*how to reach focus with your dslr and your normal SW focuser...???
- The adaptor for the 1 1/2" ep's unscrew the 1 1/2" it will leave you with a canon t2 thread. purchase a canon eos adaptor (~30 bucks) this will then screw into where the nose piece was.
- connect the camera to the focuser and BAM WITCHA SPICE WHEEEZLE.
the camera will focus approximately 4-10 mm from the focuser which is perfect as the focuser housing is holding the most of the weight of your camera equipment hence your collmination holds true.
If you need anyhelp just send me a message and ill clear it up for you
