Installing a Feathertouch SCT Microfocuser

The Starlight Instruments SCT MicroFocuser provides the smoothest control for fine focusing. Two focus knobs allow for standard or 1/10th-speed focusing, making the MicroFocuser extremely accurate. Excellent for both imaging or visual observing, this focuser is precision-machined and anodized black with a brass fine-focus knob.

I have one of these on my CPC1100 Deluxe HD. It works OK; It does not perfectly align in the telescope without the bearing that was removed and therefore it does not have consistent feel as you rotate it; it has uneven resistance as you rotate it during focus. I've tried loosening the mounting screws and trying to find a sweet-spot where the resistance is consistent, but I haven't had success. I of course made sure everything is lubed-up and have tried exercising the telescope throughout its range of focus.

If one gets the Feathertouch focuser for the C14, the instructions are different for that telescope. Follow the instructions that are included on the CD installation disk that comes with the focuser.

I suggest to get a crayford focuser that way you will not be moving the back primary mirror.

But for people using the hyperstar as well, you wouldn't be using that crayford focuser as much.

I want to remove it, in reverse order, the black knob keeps turning, no way to remove the feather touch focuser from my RASA.

Is this Microfocuser suitable for the Meade LX90 10 inch UHTC?

[@akkasoothy]

question : When you initially take out the bearing assembly you are left with the focus shaft rod being exposed. my question is if you push or pull on the shaft is it the mirror thats been moved back and forth?

[@akkasoothy]

stop being needy

[@davidstanden480]

The threaded tube is bonded to the back of the mirror, and yes it slides the mirror back and forth. I am not sure if you push it all the way in if the mirror will come off the baffle tube, proceed with caution.

Does this work on a Celestron EHD800?
