  • Starlight Instruments Stock Base Insert

    The Starlight Instruments Stock Base Insert lets you attach a 2.0" Feather Touch focuser (FTF2000 series) or a SIPS to your telescope's own stock focuser base, without drilling new holes or modifying the tube. The insert sits inside the stock base and is machined to that base's inside diameter, so please measure it and give us the figure when you order.

    Uses Your Telescope's Stock Base

    Instead of fitting a new Starlight base to the tube, the insert adapts the base already on your telescope, so the Feather Touch focuser or SIPS attaches to the existing mounting point.

  • What is the function of the Starlight Instruments Stock Base Insert?

    It sits inside your telescope's stock focuser base so that a 2.0" Feather Touch focuser (FTF2000 series) or a SIPS can attach to that base without drilling or modifying the tube.

    Is the Starlight Instruments Stock Base Insert a universal part?

    No. Each insert is machined to the inside diameter of your telescope's stock base, so measure that diameter and give it to us when you order.

    Does the Starlight Instruments Stock Base Insert include screws or other hardware?

    Starlight does not list the included hardware for this insert, so contact us before ordering if you need to know.

    I'm building a custom Dobsonian. Is the Starlight Instruments Stock Base Insert what I need to mount my focuser?

    If your tube already has a focuser base, this insert lets a 2.0" Feather Touch or SIPS attach to it without drilling. For a tube with no base, Starlight's curved or flat focuser bases are the route instead.
