Skywatcher Dual-Speed Low Profile 1.25/2" Crayford anyone?


Recommended Posts

My factory fitted focuser has developed a mind of its own and tends to slide inwards when a heavier eyepiece is in place. Has anyone got experience of the Skywatcher mentioned? I don't want to spend huge and the price of this seems reasonable....

I bought the Skywatcher Dual-Speed Low-profile focuser for one of my scopes, and consider that it has a significant design flaw, which is why I no longer use it. The focus tube comes in two sections , which results in flexure when both are extended and sagging under the weight of a camera or big eyepiece. I found that I got distorted stars when imaging. The stock focuser on the PDS range is much better. 

Not necessarily an issue unless you're imaging, I guess.
