Description

For some telescopes Oasis Focuser cannot be installed directly by using a clamp due to the limitation of shape, size, space etc. However with the universal adapter, Oasis Focuser can be installed on the coarse-tuning side of most telescope focusers. Those telescopes include Takahashi FSQ106、TOA130、Epsilon newtonian, SkyRovere 72ED, Sharpstar newtonian and etc.

As shown in Figure 1, 2, 3 and 4, the focuser of the telescopes can not be connected to a clamp directly

In order to install Oasis Focuser on those telescopes, we designed and developed the universal adapter. The universal adapter has a round mounting point, and then Oasis Focuser main body can be installed on the mounting point with a clamp.

As shown in Figure 5, the universal adapter includes the following components:

1、Mount-bracket

2、Fixing-bracket (One of Model A/B/C/D/T)

3、Shaft-converter (One of A-type or B-type)

4、Bearing

5、A5 Gear

6、Screws

To fit different telescope models, universal adapter are divided into some sub-models, including:

1、Adapter for FSQ106/TOA130-NFB

2、Adapter for Epsilon/TOA130-NS

3、Adapter for SkyRover 72ED

4、Adapter for Sharpstar newtonian

The difference between different sub-models is that they use different fixing-bracket or shaft-converter or screws. And with some simple measurements, we can create more universal adapter sub-models to fit more telescopes.

The components contained in these adapters are shown in Figures 6, 7, 8, and 9 below.

When using a universal adapter to install Oasis Focuser, the clamp used is 30mm uniformly. Therefore, after installing the universal adapter, it is very convenient for users to share Oasis Focuser among different telescopes.

Below are some examples of installing Oasis Focuser using the universal adapter.
