In this image, the focuser is fully racked out to show how much travel
it has. We talking about 5-1/4" (5.250") of travel! What's great is
that I designed the telescope to provide focus with a 2" star diagonal
at the point where I would only have to utilize about an 1-1/2"
(1.500") inches of travel to achieve focus with the majority of my
oculars. But, the extra travel will indubitably help when I barlow
eyepieces.
This concludes the work to the focuser end of of the
OTA. But, there is still much more work to be done. Now, I will move
on up to the objective end. |
