Feathertouch focuser

NO TAKERS. So I’ll use it myself on an 8 inch newt I’m restoring.


Price correction.


Addendum: I can't find the temp module mentioned below. I know it's here but we've moved house recently and we are still in a state of chaos. It'll turn up but I'll send it to a buyer for no extra.


This began life as a focuser for an SCT but I had a flange made that allowed me to attach it to an ED127 refractor. It’s equipped with a HSM (stepper motor) and FB II FocusLynx controller with hand control and temperature module It’s a 2 inch dia model with about ac1 inch draw. It’s performed perfectly in it’s new role. I believe these are called the Feathertouch "Shorty".

These are not cheap. A FTF20008CR alone (i.e the 10:1 version without motor control) now sells for US$525 alone. The HSM with another Controller another US$325 so to buy one new, landed here, would set you back over A$1250. But I am willing to let this one go for $700 plus post. I’ll throw in the flange for the refractor I took it off.
