K006 2 Inch Fine Adjustment Seat for Astronomical Telescope

The K006 is a full metal double helical focuser with 0.05mm precision, designed for guiding scopes or finder scopes on telescopes with 1.25 inch and 2 inch interfaces.

Product Overview

The K006 is a full metal double helical focuser with 0.05mm precision, designed for guiding scopes or finder scopes on telescopes with 1.25 inch and 2 inch interfaces. It provides a 10mm focusing stroke and fits M31x0.5 male thread on the primary mirror. The unit includes a high quality M31 to 2 inch adapter for seamless integration with 2 inch systems.

  • Focuser typeDouble helical
  • Focusing accuracy0.05mm
  • Focusing stroke10mm
  • Interface1.25 inch with M42*0.75 male thread
  • Primary mirror interfaceM31x0.5 male thread
  • Secondary interface2 inch with M48x0.75 female thread

Key Benefits

  • 0.05mm focusing accuracy allows fine adjustments for precise star alignment
  • Double helical mechanism reduces backlash and ensures smooth, repeatable focusing
  • 10mm focusing stroke provides sufficient range for critical focus tuning
  • Full metal construction ensures durability under repeated use and variable temperatures
  • Includes M31 to 2 inch adapter, so the focuser works with both 1.25 inch and 2 inch optical systems
  • Compact design fits in tight telescope configurations without adding bulk

Application Scenarios

  • Fine focusing of a guide scope during long exposure astrophotography
  • Adjusting focus on a finder scope to match the main telescope's alignment
  • Mounting a camera or imaging sensor on a 2 inch port using the M31 to 2 inch adapter
  • Repositioning a guide scope on a telescope with a 1.25 inch focuser using the 2 inch interface
  • Field use where consistent focus repeatability is required across multiple sessions

Who It Is For

  • Amateur astronomers doing astrophotography with guide scopes
  • Telescope users upgrading from 1.25 inch to 2 inch accessories
  • Users of refractors, reflectors and compound telescopes needing precise focus control
  • Field technicians adjusting focus on portable or mobile telescope setups
  • Educational astronomy labs requiring repeatable focus performance

Problems It Solves

  • Sluggish or inconsistent focus on telescopes with low-precision focusers
  • Incompatibility between 1.25 inch and 2 inch optical systems without an adapter
  • Backlash in focus movement causing image drift during long exposures
  • Lack of fine adjustment control when aligning guide scopes or imaging sensors
  • Poor durability in plastic or low-grade focusers that wear out under repeated use

Technical Features

  • Double helical focuser design for high precision and low backlash
  • Focusing stroke of 10mm for extended focus range
  • 0.05mm accuracy per adjustment step
  • 1.25 inch interface with M42*0.75 male thread for guide scopes
  • M31x0.5 male thread for primary mirror connection
  • 2 inch interface with M48x0.75 female thread via included adapter
  • Minimum length: 43mm, maximum length: 53mm
  • Full metal construction for rigidity and long-term stability
  • Black anodized finish for corrosion resistance and reduced light scatter

Comparison With Other Options

Standard 1.25 inch focuserThe K006 offers double helical precision and a 10mm stroke, while standard focusers often have higher backlash and limited adjustment range.
Plastic focuserFull metal construction resists wear and temperature changes; plastic units degrade faster under repeated use and outdoor exposure.
Single helical focuserDouble helical design reduces backlash and improves repeatability, critical for astrophotography and guiding.

Use Guide

  • Ensure the M31x0.5 thread on the primary mirror is clean and undamaged before mounting
  • Attach the M31 to 2 inch adapter to the focuser before connecting to a 2 inch system
  • Adjust the focuser slowly to avoid overshooting focus, especially during critical alignment
  • Use the 10mm stroke to fine-tune focus over multiple sessions; record positions if needed
  • Clean threads periodically with a dry brush to prevent dust or debris from affecting focus
