Starlight Instruments Feather Touch MicroFocuser Upgrade for Celestron 8" SCT

This Starlight Instruments MicroFocuser is intended for the Celestron 8" SCT. Two focus knobs enable 1/10th-speed focusing, making the MicroFocuser highly precise. Perfect for both imaging or visual observing, this focuser is precision-machined and anodized black with a brass fine-focus knob. The SCT MicroFocuser is easily installed in place of the original focus knob on Celestron 8" SCTs with Standard threads (Not for CPC/Nexstar SE or EdgeHD models).

Customer Reviews (4.8 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Alexander ★★★★★

Swapping from the stock focuser to the two-speed knob setup made fine-tuning for planetary imaging noticeably easier. Even the coarse knob feels precise, and the 1/10th-speed reduction dial helped me nail focus on Jupiter without any frustrating backlash.

John ★★★★★

That 1/10th-speed knob is a game-changer for lunar observing—I can nail focus without the image shaking at all. The two-knob setup feels natural, and the install on my C8 was straightforward even for a first-timer.

Brian ★★★★★

Installed this on my C8 last night—the 1/10th-speed knob made fine-tuning Jupiter's bands effortless. Smooth, zero backlash, and it locks solidly once you're focused. Really glad I upgraded.
