For use with the RSF-8, RSF-10, RSF-12

Description

This is a secondary mirror moving motor focuser for RC telescopes.

Rainbow Astro's RC line of telescopes are equipped with a crayford focuser, but many users are replacing it with a more accurate focuser. 

It is already in use for large RC telescopes. 

• All custom-made large RC telescopes use secondary mirror motor focusers.
• The RSF series is provided as a DIY kit and can be easily installed by anyone.

Perfect compatibility

• The RSF Series can be easily mounted without damaging your telescope. The location of the secondary mirror will be the same. In addition, the optical axis can be readjusted easily after mounting the motor focuser. 

ASCOM Driver

• The RSF series focuser supports the ASCOM Driver, convenient and precise control is possible by connecting to PC via USB. You can also create an autofocusing environment through your own independent programming. (this is not supported by Rainbow)
