TS-Optics M90/2,5"Rack and Pinion Focuser 

updated: 2025-09-09


TS-Optics M90/2.5" Rack and Pinion Focuser - supports up to 6 kg - max. travel distance:  95 mm


The alternative to Starlight Feather Touch FTF2535 refractor focuser or the OEM Crayford  focuser


  • For refactors, RC and Cassegrain telescopes - up to 6 kg payload
  • Including telescope connection (M90 female thread) and 360° rotation
  • M63 threaded connection on the eyepiece side with 2" and 1.25" adapter
  • Draw tube travel 95 mm - perfect for refractor telescopes
  • Finder shoe already mounted
  • Important
    • This focuser requires the 50 mm M90 extension tube to be used with an RC205/1624 reflector telescope because the inner mirror diameter is smaller than the focuser's diameter (69 mm + 3 mm for the rack).
    • For this reason, this focuser cannot be used with the 0.67x reducer, as otherwise the focus point is closer to the end of the telescope and cannot be reached.
