The focuser is attached to every telescope near the focal point of the light-gathering optics. As the name suggests, eyepieces can be inserted into the focuser. For astrophotography, focusers hold cameras and bring them into focus. This is why they are also referred to as focusers instead of eyepiece focusers.
This heavy-duty focuser should be the first choice for any PlaneWave CDK 14/17/20/24" telescope!
- The focuser runs on 5 bearings and is driven by a worm gear, so there is no risk of slipping.
- The focus can be automated by a computer using PlaneWave's EFA (electronic focusing device).
- The focuser includes a pre-installed motor that can be controlled with the EFA hand controller or PWI PC software.
