Omegon Steeltrail 2" Eyepiece Holder - High technology in a stainless steel eyepiece holder

Would you like to upgrade your equipment with a better quality eyepiece holder and always find the perfect focus point? With the new Crayford Steeltrail eyepiece holders from Omegon you improve your equipment and obtain high precision in focusing. Its stainless steel bearing system provides a long useful life.

  • Exclusive 2" Crayford focuser with stainless steel ball head
  • Indestructible: Stainless steel parts for long life
  • 1:10 reduction to find the perfect focus
  • Large load capacity for all accessories
  • Compatible with Skywatcher telescopes via adapter
  • Anti-reflection grooves for greater contrast

Do you have a telescope with a simple eyepiece holder? If you look closely at the bearing of the single eyepiece holder you will see that it leaves a groove in the delicate aluminum of the inner tube. Do you expect a piece like this to serve you for many years? If you are one of those who gives importance to precision and accuracy, this eyepiece holder will not make you very happy... The time has come to improve the equipment.

Steeltrail - Stainless Steel Bearings
All important parts of the Omegon Steeltrail eyepiece holder are made of stainless steel. The V2A bearings move on stainless steel wheels, thus giving the eyepiece holder greater precision. Supporting heavy loads for a long time is also no problem for this eyepiece holder. The ball head prevents it from becoming unbalanced and keeps the piece functioning well for years.

Reduction 1:10 - Objects with perfect sharpness
When enlarging images and trying to take astrophotographs, it is difficult to find the perfect point of focus. However, thanks to the 1:10 reduction setting, it is possible. Turning the steel wheel moves the 2" tube one tenth of a millimeter, so if we turn the wheel half a turn, we will have changed the focusing path by approximately one millimeter.

Load capacity of up to 5 Kg!
A special advantage of this eyepiece holder is its high weight-bearing capacity, as it is capable of supporting heavy eyepieces and cameras. In addition, since it does not have clamps, it can move freely without the 2" tube slipping, which is responsible for the great finish of the piece.

Simple coupling to a Newtonian telescope

The eyepiece holder can be attached to the appropriate filter by means of an 80 mm diameter ring. Many amateur astronomers have a Skywatcher telescope that they want to complement and improve. Before they had a big drawback: There were no adapters of a compatible size. However, now, with this additional adapter from Omegon, the eyepiece holder can be made compatible with a Skywatcher device in just 3 minutes.

The Omegon Steeltrail eyepiece collection is made up of three models:

  • Crayford for Newton telescopes

And you, when are you going to equip your telescope with a professional quality eyepiece holder?
