Helical focuser

Post by Canopus Lim »

Hi I'm looking for a 2 inch helical focuser to be placed in my dob's 2 inch rack and pinon focuser. Anyone who wants to sell one at good price?

for your info, I have tried the Orion Helical Fine Focuser, quite good, smooth, though not as smooth as the Wolanski model, but cheaper, available and good enough for its purpose.
