Which focusers is the Starlight FSB-CH4055 Mounting Bracket compatible with?
The Starlight Instruments Mounting Bracket is specifically designed for their large-format 2.5", 3.0", and 3.5" Feather Touch focusers. It will not fit smaller Feather Touch focusers or focusers from other manufacturers.
Do I need any other parts to use the FSB-CH4055 Mounting Bracket?
Yes. This product is only the mounting bracket. You must also have the Starlight Instruments FSB-CH4055 finderscope base, which is sold separately. The base attaches to the focuser body, and this bracket then attaches to the base.
I have a 3.5" Feather Touch Focuser on my TEC 140 refractor. Is this the correct bracket for my finder?
Yes, provided you are also using the Starlight FSB-CH4055 base. The Starlight Instruments Mounting Bracket is made to fit the 3.5" Feather Touch focuser body's pre-drilled mounting holes when used with the matching base.
Can I mount a guide scope with the Starlight FSB-CH4055 Mounting Bracket?
Yes. The bracket and base system provides a very rigid platform suitable for mounting not only finderscopes but also smaller, lightweight guide scopes without introducing flexure that could compromise your guiding accuracy.
Will this Starlight Mounting Bracket fit the 2" Feather Touch focuser on my Dobsonian?
No. This mounting bracket is specifically designed for the larger 2.5", 3.0", and 3.5" Feather Touch focuser bodies, which have a different physical size and mounting hole pattern than the 2" models.
What is the Starlight FSB-CH4055 Mounting Bracket made of?
The Starlight Instruments Mounting Bracket is machined from high-quality metal to the same precision standards as their focusers, ensuring a durable and rigid connection for your accessories. It is typically finished with black anodizing to match the aesthetics of the focuser.
