(SOLD) Moonlite CF Synta regular 2” focuser for a refractor.
Moonlite hi res stepper motor
Controller cable.
No manual controller but custom made cable adaptor for computer control.
Mounting flange ID 80mm. OD 96mm.
This item came with an Astro package I bought some time ago and have since sold the telescope (SW BD ED 120) with its original focuser.
I have held onto this lovely piece of equipment for some time hoping to use it on another deserving OTA, but now going in another direction and have decided to sell it.
As new condition.
$400 plus postage.
Located in Highton (Geelong)
Edit. Search of Moonlite's website reveals that this focuser can be used on a variety of OTAs by fitting an appropriate flange which they supply.

Reason: SOLD
Sorry, I know this is probably outside the scope of sales but do you know whether this focuser might fit on a GSO 8RC?
I've been searching Google for adapters but have absolutely no idea what I'm looking for or where to find any relevant information.
All I know is the GSO 8RC has a 90mm x 1mm thread on its attachment ring.
Could you possibly send me a photo of the front of the focuser or even point me to a link where I can look?
Hi Leo G.
Here is a close up of the back flange of the Moonlite. The flange has no threads inside or outside just three three equidistant screw holes where it fits to a 90 telescope barrel and fixed by screws.
As such I don’t think it would be a fit for the RC8 unless someone is clever with adaptors.
The Moonlite was originally fitted to the tube of a Skywatcher 120ED refractor.
Of course Moonlite are a specialist accessory manufacturer noted for the focusers made to fit a wide range of telescopes. so perhaps all I could suggest would be to look up their website as I have heard they are well regarded for making custom adaptors or replacement flanges for the quality gear.
