The perfect focuser for Takahashi FSQ-106 astrograph

 

The perfect focuser for Takahashi FSQ-106 astrograph

Thanks to special optics, Takahashi FSQ-106 is one of the best performing astrographs and it's used by the best astrophotographers in the world. The special internal corrector is so large that ir requires a very large focuser to use it. For this reason ESATTO 4" is the ideal focuser for the Takahashi FSQ-106 telescope thus allowing remote and high precision control even of very heavy cameras and accessories.

Special adaptor for Takahashi FSQ-106 and to connect Takahashi photographic adaptors

In order to allow you to install ESATTO 4" in place of the original Takahashi focuser, we have designed a special adaptor that makes ESATTO 4" have the same thickness of the original focuser. In addition, we have created an adaptor to be screwed to the M110x1 thread of the ESATTO 4" draw tube to convert it into an M92x1 female thread which is the same as the one on the original Takahashi focuser. In this way you can remove the original focuser, install ESATTO 4" with the optional adaptors and you will find focus point with the same photographic adaptors you used before!

Essatto 4

Well I am new to the rssatto range but not to primaluce as I have the Eagle 4S . This focuser is rock solid and zero play and with so many steps on it you loose count . Absolutely a fantastic accurate focuser now mounted on my Planewave CDK14 and I love it . Was easy to set up and runs straight of my USB3 connection no extra power needed. So if you want a fantastic focuser make sure you give this a try . Very happy customer and love all there products as they take no short cuts making them and top quality .
