Feather Touch Focuser and TeleVue NP-101

This page contains descriptions and photos of a new Feather Touch Focuser attached to a TeleVue NP-101. This is not an endorsement of either piece of equipment, but I am very pleased with both products. At this point the focuser has only been tested with a Nagler T6 eyepiece on terrestrial objects.

Bottom of stock focuser showing adjustable set screw. This allows the stock
adapter and focuser to be removed by simply unscrewing the entire housing.

Rear view of focuser. Note the brass locking ring, this is a new feature.
The set screw for the 1 1/4" adapter is not part of the brass locking ring.

All parts assemble with 3 set screws, which can be seen in the photos.

All parts in line for assembly. Note, the adapter attaches to the telescope via threads.
