Starlight Instruments
Feather Touch Focusers
from $139.50
Feather Touch Focusers are widely
known among the astronomical
community as the Ferarri of Focusers. Others, not sports-car
minded have called it the Rolls Royce. The Feather Touch is a
marvel of engineering, machining and just plain gorgeous to touch and
use. We have several in the Observatory on our telescopes and
hear nothing but praises from those who use them "and I thought BUTTER
was smooth!". We carry a Feather Touch with us to all the star
parties we attend and it is the object of fondling, desire and cries of
"my precious" by many who handle it. This focuser is so desireable that
many people have bought a Feather Touch for their telescopes and paid
nearly as much for their focuser as they did for their "economy"
telescope.

Although, the SCT Micro will not
eliminate image shift it will greatly
improve your ability to hit the "sweet spot" without shaking the tube
while you are at high power. It is shown here with our complete 2"
focuser setup, which is the desired focusing system for photography and
CCD imaging. This model will fit the originally US produced
