An illuminated reticule eyepiece can be used with this unit.The focuser has a 1.25" ID push-fit adapter with brass compression ring, allowing use of 1.25" eyepieces or auto-guiding cameras. The indexed micro-focuser can be locked, enabling the eyepiece or camera to set at the correct focus-point. Because the focuser does not rotate, an eyepiece reticule or guide camera is easier to focus and maintain alignment on-target. The rear of the focuser also includes a T2 thread to allow the addition of extensions.

Excellent Service & Quality Guide Scope Ordered my 50mm guide scope on Sunday evening and received it on Tuesday afternoon. Guide scope is of excellent quality and is now mounted on top of my TS Optics 115 APO. I intend to match it up with my Altair Astro GPCAM130C. No instructions about focusing, however I will soon work it all out. (24/05/2022) Steve R - Pembroke Dock
Good guide scope Used this for autoguiding with a small CCD camera - works well - focussing is straightforward. Good quality for autoguiding. (27/12/2020) Robert Taylor - Chester
No issues at all Given the current issues with the Pandemic delivery was quick and arrived early which was nice, prices are very reasonable and never have issues with how things are shipped, the quality of the scope and optics are very good. Product was accurately described (22/08/2020) Christian Darrall - Frome
Impressed! I recently purchased this from Harrison Telescopes and was really impressed with the service and prompt delivery. It produces excellent guiding results and has a super smooth focuser - well engineered and premium. I am really liking it so far and would definitely consider Altair for my next OTA.
