Fine focus lens for Meade 8 inch Schmidt-Cassegrain | Starlight

With the standard knob on a Meade 8-inch SCT, you can move the main mirror quite coarsely, while at high magnification or with a camera you want to precisely hit the sharp point. This fine-focus knob for the Meade 8-inch from Starlight Instruments makes focusing much more relaxed and precise.

The mount is made for the 8 inch Schmidt-Cassegrains from Meade, a type catadioptric telescope with mirrors and a corrector plate. Therefore, check the diameter of your telescope.

With a Bahtinov mask, you immediately notice how much easier it is to get the middle line of the pattern exactly in the middle. Choose that option a Bahtinov mask tailored to your tube.

If you have a larger Meade, then there is the fine focus for 10 and 12 inch.
