The telescope is supplied with the Hexafoc focuser, which has a 64 mm free aperture. For photographic use in particular, the focuser can be retrofitted with a 1:10 reducer (see "Recommended Accessories"). This fine-tuning allows for more precise focus adjustment.

The EXOS-2 mount: The EXOS-2 is a stable mount with a high payload capacity and precise tracking for visual observations, and with motors, also for astrophotography. Double radial ball bearings on both axes ensure precise operation, and the optimized bearings on the AR axis leave virtually no backlash. This mount is very stable and precisely manufactured. It is an economical way to get started in astrophotography.
