Hi all;


Im building a 4 1/2 f/8 Newtonian dob, yeah i know that
it seems kind of small but hey its my first ATM project.
I would like to buy a nice 1 1/4 focuser for the tube.
The tube will be about 6 inches in diameter. Can
someone recommend a nice focuser for me, please include
the manufacture and website if you have that info.

Thanks

Clear skies

If you want a nice focuser I suggest the Jim's Mobile 1.25 inch Reverse Crayford, (RCF). It is available in kit form for $60. It is quite easy to assemble, I think it took me 10 or 20 minutes.
