Description

Description

The Series -5 focuser has a clear aperture of 5″ and is only 1.675″ thick. The focuser is capable of lifting 40 lbs (18 kg) with a travel range of 15mm (15,000 microns).

While designing the new DeltaRho 350 we also wanted to design a new focuser and rotator that would add even more flexibility to our systems. The goal was to create a faster, stronger, focuser and rotator system that had a thinner profile than the IRF90. Our new Series-5 stackable focuser and rotator have achieved just that for users of our DeltaRho 350 and RC700 telescopes. Both the focuser and rotator offer a clear aperture of 5” and are designed to stack for users that require derotation. For those only needing focusing capabilities, the new focuser also occupies less backfocus, which means more room for imaging train components.

The Series-5 is currently compatible with the DeltaRho 350 and RC700. Adapter kits will become available to allow the Series-5 to secure to CDK14 through CDK700 telescopes.

Electronics:
The Series-5 focuser requires the Series-5 Controller (600199).
