Low profile, Crawford type, 2 inch focuser, with 1-1/4 inch threaded adaptor for filters.

Adjustable curved mounting base to match the curved Obsession focuser board.

Compression rings in both the 2 inch drawtube and in 1 1/4 inch adaptor for a secure fit.

Extremely smooth.

The Feathertouch has an extra fine focus knob that reduces focuser travel by 10:1 ratio when you turn it. Silky smooth and can hold the heaviest eyepiece barlow combinations, bino viewers or cameras better than anything on the market.

The Feathertouch also can be swiveled on it's base to the most convenient position for the focusing knobs. A machinist dream, it is generally considered the Mercedes of focusers. A joy to use and beautiful to look at.
