If you want to replace the standard focus ring on your Newton with a Feather Touch or another Starlight Instruments focus ring, it must fit securely and straight onto the round tube. This adjustable curved focus ring base for a Newton forms that transition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because the base is adjustable, you can adjust it to match the curvature of your tubus. You use it on Newton telescopes and Dobson telescopes<\/a> where the focus is on the side of the tube.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before ordering, measure the outer diameter of your tube and see how your current focus lens fits. A different focus lens can change the height above the tube, causing the focal point to shift. Line everything up again after mounting, for example with the Bresser laser collimator<\/a>, and then follow our steps for collimation<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to tackle the coma of a fast Newton right away, then check out the Feather Touch with built-in Paracorr<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
