GSO 2" Crayford Focuser for Refractors - Dual Speed (with 96.6mm Telescope Adapter)
Good upgrade.
Bought this to put on a ST120F5, the stock R&P was fine however as its rather course and hitting the sweet spot is fiddly, a good upgrade, too bad the Canadian dollar is worth a lot less than the US one however I consider it money well spent.

great upgrade to the standard Celestron focuser
This is a major improvement to the standard Celestron focuser on the Nexstar 8SE. Gives fine controlled focus and install easily. Allows a very light touch with the fingers to focus clearly without causing too much shake.

GSO 2" Crayford Focuser for SCTs - Dual Speed
Good item for focusing
This item is good at fine tune the focus, but it will increase the length of C8-A OTA and now I cannot put the OTA in vertical position(before It can)

GSO 2" Linear Bearing Crayford Focuser for Refractors - Dual Speed (with 96.6mm Flange)
met the specs exactly!
The important part of this purchase was that the focuser provide increased back focus for NV use with an ST120 and the focuser, by matching the dimensions in Agena's description, did that very well.

I had the roller bearing version originally. Unlike this linear bearing version, it had limited load capacity. Was fine with lower loads but balked at Televieimage amplifier and binoviewer combination. In contrast, this linear bearing focuser is desi...

Cured the image shift
My Orion 150mm mak suffered from image shift until the GSO Crayford. I just got it as close as possible then went to fine adjustment. Jupiter never looked so good. Of course, the focal length was increased, so, on a very good-seeing night, I was look...

Very Nice
Very nice focuser.. fit perfectly on a 12" Meade Light Bridge. No modifications needed to be made. I installed it in under 5 minutes. 303mm base plate was a direct fit.

GSO 2' Crayford Focuser for SCTs - Single Speed
Well made...
Top-drawer stuff. Happy with. But only useful on my 8" SCT scope. Not enough clearance for a 5 or 6 in SCT, in my case. Sure helps an SCT scope focus more like my good refractors, with mm focus tube increments.
