Low profile focuser


PeterBolt

Recommended Posts

I've just fitted a new low profile focuser which will finally allow me to use my coma corrector.

 

It's all fitted perfectly but there is quite a large gap between the focuser and the tube on two sides.  As a temporary solution I have used some of the black packaging foam that came with it....but once I know it's all working I would like a more permanent solution.

 

Does anyone have any good suggestions or previous experience?

Hello Peter....

 

A pic of the low profile focuser mounted on your telescope tube that shows the large gap would probably generate some excellent suggestions for you....🙂
