Albir phil Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 Hi all I am upgrading my 150 quattro,just wondering if anyone as done a upgrade on the focusers of the 150 and what focuser you used without breaking the bank.🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bosun21 Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 I haven't owned a Quattro but have upgraded the focuser on several Newtonians and the Baader Steeltrack is great upgrade to the stock focusers supplied with the scopes. They are not quite a Feather touch and don't have the price tag either. However they are a solid and well trusted unit which works very well. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a video or two on YouTube showing how to fit them. I fitted mine without a template. Just measured it out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Scarlet Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 I have four Baader Diamond Steeltrack focusers and three Feathertouch focusers. When @bosun21 says above that the BDS is not quite an FT, what he’s actually saying is that the BDS is not _total perfection_, which is what an FT is. But the BDS is very, very good indeed.
