Lunt Solar 1.25" Rack & Pinion Focuser with 10:1 Fine Focus
Introducing the New 1.25 Rack & Pinion Focuser with 10:1 Fine Focus from Lunt Solar
Precision focusing at high magnifications demands more than standard rack and pinion
mechanisms can deliver. While our standard focuser addresses the fundamental limitations of helical systems, the 10:1 dual-speed variant takes focus control to an entirely new level of refinement.
The integrated 10:1 reduction gearing provides the micro-adjustment capability essential for critical focus applications like solar imaging, planetary observation, and high-power visual work where the difference between good focus and perfect focus determines image quality.
Technical Specifications
Dual-Speed Mechanism
The focuser incorporates a precision planetary gear reduction system alongside the primary rack and pinion drive. The coarse focus knob provides rapid positioning across the full travel range, while the 10:1 fine focus knob enables micro-adjustments measured in thousandths of an inch.
