GSO 2" Linear Bearing Crayford Focuser for Refractors - Dual Speed (with 86.4mm Flange)
Nice engineered piece of gear but
But it could come with a couple of spare M4 screw sets to attach focuser to OTA
I wouldn’t mind paying an extra couple of bucks on it instead of using HomeDepot screws...

GSO 2" Crayford Focuser for Refractors - Single Speed (with 86.4mm Telescope Adapter)
Meade Polaris 90 upgrade.
I Replaced the stock Focuser on my Meade Polaris 90 with this, what an upgrade!!
Focusing is 100% better, buttery smooth and it fits perfectly.

GSO 2" Linear Bearing Crayford Focuser for Reflectors - Dual Speed
Celestron C8-N
The stock focuser did not have a fine focus adjustment so I replaced it with one within my budget. The GSO appears to be built well. I did need to drill the screw holes in the optical tube one size larger. This allowed the mismatch of the screw hole...

Feather Touch Micro Focuser for Meade 8" SCT (LX90, LX200GPS, LX200 Classic & 7"...
LX65 8"
This install real good the only problem is when attaching it to the bar on the mirror you really can't see what your doing so you just kind of wing it

GSO 2" Linear Bearing Crayford Focuser for Refractors - Dual Speed (with 96.6mm Flange)
Excellent Value
It's not a feathertouch, but for the price, this focuser may be unbeatable. I used it to replace the stock 2-speed crayford focuser on my SW ED100. It's well machined, evenly anodized, and very smooth right out of the box. No disassembly/...

Feather Touch Micro Focuser for Celestron C8 SCT (Not for CPC/NexStar SE) # FTM-C8
Works fine, used on Ultima C8, 1994 vintage.
No problems, installation went fine, you may need a ring puller if you're worried about damaging the E-ring on the original scope rod. I recommend reading the installation instruction manual before purchase so you can verify your scope is compat...

Awsome forcuser
This focuser is well made and very smooth. Unfortunately, none of the base plates will cover the original hole on the Celestron C10.

Just what the doctor ordered!
Works perfectly as attached to the GSO 2" Crayford focuser (also bought from Agena). The GSO focuser was used to upgrade my Orion StarBlast 90 f/7.3 achro, and this bracket holds my 8x40 straight-through finder securely. Recommended.

GSO Crayford Focuser Flange / Base Plate for Refractors - 86.4mm
Saved me $$
With this flange base I was able to move my GSO focuser to a newer 5 inch achromat that didn't come with a crayford.
I was pleased that Agena sells these separately.
Very happy stargeezer here!

GSO 2" Crayford Focuser for Refractors - Dual Speed (with 112.5mm Telescope Adapter)
Works great!
Fit my Orion 120mm f/8 refractor (version collimatable objective.) Way smoother action and sturdier than the stock r&p focuser. Did require an extension tube but im using an old Barlow with the cell removed until I order a 2 inch extension tube.

Perfect if you bought a Crayford and still want to use a finder scope; the standard dovetails do not fit, but these do.

GSO 2" Linear Bearing Crayford Focuser for SCTs - Dual Speed
Quality Focuser
Excellent addition for my C8. Takes the focus gear hysteresis of the C8 out of the picture. Very fine fit and finish with smooth operation. Can not achieve focus with the f6.3 focal reducer and a star diagonal on the C8.

Baader 2" Diamond Steeltrack Crayford Focuser for All SCTs # BDS-SC 2957220
Fine Focuser for SCT
I purchased this for use on my C8. I find the operation of it very smooth, but ran into a big issue on my 40+ year old C8 in that the old scopes have an issue with the thread depth and I can't install it as it should be on my scope. I did get it...

Well made
I needed the extra pair of holes in order to mount this in an unusual way. It was convenient not to need to drill them myself.

Nice 2" Crayford Focuser
Very nice smooth movement. Well made solid focuser that's not to heavy. Reasonably priced for the quality.

Low profile focuser
Haven’t had a chance to really use it yet, and I will need an extension tube, but Inam excited about the smoothness at which it operates.
