DRO

Event Horizon Focusers

The Event Horizon Focuser (EV) is a low-profile, friction-drive focuser designed for both the amateur
and professional market.  The highly acclaimed Crayford design (see below) permits tolerances up to 100
times better than conventional rack-and-pinion focusers.  Zero image shift and zero backlash makes it
fantastic for visual and photographic work and a  must for CCD imaging.  The modular design makes
changes and upgrades extremely easy to accomplish.  Add the optional variable-speed Motor and Smart
Focus or Digital Readout (DRO) for the ultimate focusing system.  The EV is truly a masterpiece of
engineering and workmanship that you will be proud to own for years to come.

NGF

The Next Generation Focuser (NGF) is a low-profile, friction-drive focuser designed for both the amateur
and professional market. The highly acclaimed Crayford design permits tolerances up to 100 times better
than conventional rack-and-pinion focusers. Zero image shift and zero backlash makes it fantastic for
visual and photographic work and a must for CCD imaging. Add the optional variable-speed Motor and Smart
Focus, Digital Read Out (DRO), or Digital Focus Counter (DFC), for the ultimate focusing system. The NGF
is truly a masterpiece of engineering and workmanship that you will be proud to own for years to come.
(U.S. Patent No. 5,303,090)

The NGF-S and NGF-miniS are specifically designed for the Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescope (SCT). SCTs
achieve focus by moving the mirror. This design tends to create image shift which is especially
problematic for CCD imaging. The NGF-S and NGF-miniS achieve focus by moving the eyepiece, camera or
other equipment at the back of the telescope instead of the mirror.

NGF3

A 3″ black-anodized (gold-anodized optional) aluminum ″Extreme″ focuser designed for
use on large (10″ to 16″) Cassegrain Telescopes (NGF-XTc) with standard output threads and
Newtonian Telescopes (NGF-XTn). The Cassegrain version includes an SCT threaded output adapter to allow
use of standard SCT equipment. The Newtonian version includes a removable 10″ radius curved base
(or optional flat base). The manual version of the NGF-XT lifts up to 12 pounds and the motorized
version up to 18 pounds. Manual ″Nano Drive″ control is approximately 13 times finer than
most rack-and-pinion focusers.

RCF

The Reverse Crayford Focuser (RCF) is a light-weight, low-profile focuser with a new revolutionary
design - JMI′s low-cost, high-quality answer to plastic focusers. The reverse Crayford design
gives zero image shift and zero backlash. (U.S. Patent No. 6,297,917)

Focusmate Driver

For visual or CCD use, focusing a Tele Vue telescope can now be smoother, more accurate and vibration – free when you add the Focusmate plus the new Focusmate Driver (FDR-2001 or FDL-2002). This adjustable speed electric motor drive installs easily onto the Focusmate 6:1 fine focus unit, and offers a unique quick disconnect for switching (without tools) between electric and manual operation.
