The Orion 2" Dual-Speed Crayford Refractor Focuser provides a simple, yet profound performance upgrade for your favorite Orion refractor telescope. The high-quality design adds fine focus adjustment ability with a ratio of 11:1 to your refractor. Eleven turns of the fine focus knob equals one rotation of the coarse adjustment knobs, allowing you to view even the most complex targets with acute precision. You’ll be amazed at how much detail can be coaxed out of celestial and terrestrial targets with the addition of fine-focus control.

Crayford style focusers offer smooth, backlash free focus adjustment by virtue of their gear-free design. Friction applied between the focus adjustment axle and a flat surface on the focus drawtube keep focus adjustments precise and accurate. The Crayford style design virtually eliminates focus errors related to backlash and flexure. Since the amount of applied friction is adjustable, even relatively heavy visual or imaging accessories can be used with the 2" dual-speed Crayford Refractor focuser with optimal results.

The focuser features a built-in dovetail finder scope base for use with any Orion reflex sight or finder scope, and includes a 2" to 1.25" adapter for use of 1.25" diagonals, eyepieces, and accessories. Attaching the focuser to your Orion refractor is simple, and thorough installation instructions are included.

The 2" Dual Speed Crayford Refractor Focuser is compatible with the following Orion refractor telescopes:
ED80 Apochromatic refractor telescope
ED100 Apochromatic refractor telescope
AstroView 100 f/6.0 achromatic refractor telescope
AstroView 120ST f/5.0 achromatic refractor telescopes
SkyView Pro 120 f/8.3 achromatic refractor telescope

Like all of us, I'd been wanting to upgrade to a Crayford Focuser for years...I have the Celestron C150mm f/8 refractor, and wasn't sure...but this gem is indeed compatible! The only possible issue is utilizing it with a barlow lens ( it doesn't have quite the travel focus of the original stock focuser ). I hardly ever use my barlow...this Dual- speed Crayford does work with my barlow, but barely. I recommend getting Orion's extension piece, which gives you the extra "margin" of travel. Highly recommended! Silk-smooth rack motion!

I added this focuser to my ST-120 since the focuser that it came with was just too course and what a difference it makes. It was very easy to replace the old focuser with this one. Just remove a couple screws and voila. The operation of this focuser is very smooth making it much easier to achieve prime focus. Well worht the money for the upgrade.
Pros: easy to replace old focuser, smooth operation
Cons: should be standard on cetain scopes like the st-12
Yes, I recommend this product!
