beka Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Hi All, I wanted to ask if anyone has the experience of using a GSO Crayford or similar focuser or on a CPC 1100, and if a counterweight was needed to balance the OTA. I want to use it with a DSLR as well as 2" diagonal. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beka Posted December 10, 2017 Author Share Posted December 10, 2017 (edited) Well I have purchased and received the GSO Crayford style focuser. I tried it out last night and it seems to work okay without any kind or counterweight. I tried it with my 2" Baader diagonal and 8mm Hyperion eyepiece on Neptune. The absence of image shift and finer control when focusing is really convenient. I intend to try it for DSLR imaging next.
