Moonlite Focuser

This is a Moonlite CR Newtonian Focuser, 2" with 1.25" adapter. Adapters are compression ring type. Focuser is dual rate, tri knob with shaft lock.

It comes with 12" and 14" telescope universal adapters and a range of universal spacer plates to bring focus to your desired point. Current set up is for a 12" Lightbridge or GSO telescope.

The focuser has had little use and is just sooooooo good after using original equipment types. beautifully constructed, almost a work of art. And just look a the colour - violet!

All up cost was over $500.00, selling for $350.00 firm, including registered post within Australia.

PM replies, please.

It would go close to fitting, the curvature of the adapter plate might be a bit out, but you could take up the difference using washers between the adapter plate and the scope body; or have one of the adapter plates machined to suit the OD of your scope.

Installation is simple, four screws secure it to the scope, but you will need to re-collimate.

I am selling because it is excess to my needs, I was going to build a dob, but now I'm not! It presents virtually as new.
