Upgrading Focuser on 8" x 1000mm Orion Reflector

#1

Post by bigfish »


Hello Everyone.
Has anyone upgraded the focuser on an 8" Orion reflector to anything other than their low profile version? (I don't want the low profile version)
Freather Touch makes an adapter but the description says "Use with focuser FTF2025BCR". That focuser is almost $600, a little more then I want to spend.
I would really like to install an Event Horizon ZWO EAF Robotic Telescope Focuser. I can't find any dimentions for either the adapter or focuser.
Does anyone have either an Orion/Feather Touch Adapter or Event Horizon Focuser to share their measurements with me? For the focuser it would have to be with the base removed. I'm thinking about buying both and hope for the best.lol.gif
Thank you!
