Hi, I’m Faye Roman, your Lunt Customer service representative. I’m going to talk about focusers.
Our smallest focuser is the helical focuser, and this goes on the LS50 telescope. It has a nice smooth turning range. A locking screw to keep you in place. All in all a nice little focuser.
If you desire something a little more heavy duty on the LS50, we offer a 1.25″ Feather Touch focuser. This has a 1:1 focusing mechanism for nice precision focusing. It also employs a locking screw to keep you in place when needed.
Our LS60 and LS80 with come standard with a Crayford focuser. That’s the focuser here. The Crayford has a 10:1 coarse to fine focus. It also has a locking screw to keep you in place when needed if you are using a heavy eyepiece or camera. It’s a good standard focuser and can handle most applications.
If you desire something a little more heavy duty we also offer the Starlight feather touch. The Feather Touch will also give you a nice fine and coarse focus. It also offers a locking screw when needed. What you’ll find with the Feather Touch is a bit of a smoother travel and a more heavy duty design. This is sometimes desirable when you are using heavier equipment. If you’re getting an LS100 or LS152, this will be standard on your package.
