Improved Focuser for the 80 f5?   Message List

Re: [80f5] Improved Focuser for the 80 f5?


I was looking at one earlier today - ScopeStuff has a GSO 2" Crayford
focuser which slots right in for $119, with a dovetail mount for the
finder costing an extra $19. A bit pricey compared with the cost of the
scope in the first place but cheaper than the alternatives such as
Feathertouch etc.

Here's the link:
