Baader Steeltrack Newtonian / GSO Version

Baader Steeltrack 2" Newtonian focuser with universal base - short design

With 50mm height, the Baader Steeltrack Newtonian focuser is one of the shortest systems on the market. Despite of this, it has a precision and smoothness who are trend-setting in this price range.

We retrofitted the Baader Steeltrack with a dovetail ring to fit it to many Newtonians from GSO and other vendors. The version saves, compared with the standard Newtonian Steeltrack, ca. 20mm optical path. In many cases, this is essential to reach focus for astro photography.

It is suitable for the following telescope models:

-- All Newtonians und Dobsonians by GSO
-- ICS Dobsonianss (the red models)
-- Meade Light Bridge Dobsonians

Mounting the Steeltrack:

Just loosen the two small headless screws on the side of the old focuser's base. Now you can remove the focuser. Now you can directly attach the new Steeltrack.

Focusers by Baader - first quality at a top price:

The drawtube is equipped with massive steel rails as counter bearing for the adjustable travelling mechanism
The counterpart for the Crayford driving shaft is a laser-cut plate made of stainless V2A steel instead of aluminium
A stopper screw with turnable beared pressure pad blocks unintended travel even at high load
All joints between drawtube and outer case run steel-on-steel with ball bearings. The results is a stress-resistant focuser suitable for heavy cameras
All steel parts and gears are designed for long-term and motorized operation. The whole focuser is much more solid than standard Crayfords whose steel/aluminium pairings wear in with the time
Heavy 1:10 reduction gear, completely machined from V2A and hardened steel
Essential for CCD and DSLR photography: No tilted focus planes because the whole bearing system is designed completely adjustable
Motor upgrade to come in future

Special 1.25" reducer - see "recommended accessories"

With Newtonians, it is often necessary to act carefully with every mm of back focus. For this reason, Baader offers the "push fix" system. This is a 2" - 1.25" reducer which does not require any back focus. In some cases, like TeleVue Nagler or Speers Waler eyepieces, this is essential to reach focus.
