## Summary description

Beta Baader Diamond Steeltrack BDS-NT 2 inch focuser is an outboard 2" Crayford-style focuser compatible with telescope visual and imaging use. Designed to accept 2-inch eyepieces and accessories, it offers precise manual focusing and stable support for cameras or diagonal mirrors. Suited for amateur astronomers upgrading mechanical performance and convenience during observing and astrophotography sessions.

## Long description

The Beta Baader Diamond Steeltrack BDS-NT 2 inch is an outboard 2" Crayford-style focuser designed for visual observing and astrophotography. It accepts standard 2-inch eyepieces and accessories and provides a smooth manual focusing action with a stable drawtube to support cameras, diagonals or heavy eyepieces. The focuser's mechanical design emphasizes low backlash and reliable axial alignment, making it suitable for upgrading older focusers or integrating into new telescope setups where precision and repeatable focus are required.
Advantages
The focuser offers precise, low-friction focusing thanks to its Crayford-style mechanism with hardened steel contact surfaces that reduce wear and provide consistent performance. Its outboard 2" body allows easy access to eyepieces and accessories while maintaining a secure clamping system for 2-inch tools. The construction is aimed at mechanical stability to minimise flex and maintain focus during long exposures or when changing imaging equipment.
Suitable for
 Visual observing with 2" eyepieces
 Deep-sky and planetary imaging with cameras mounted at the focuser
 Use with diagonals and heavy eyepieces where stable support is needed
 Upgrading mechanical performance on amateur telescopes
Key specifications
 Focuser type: 2" outboard Crayford-style manual focuser
 Main interface: accepts 2" eyepieces and 2" accessories
 Focusing action: low-friction steeltrack mechanism for smooth movement
 Support: rigid drawtube designed to reduce flex under load
 Control: manual coarse focusing with fine mechanical stability
How to use
Install the focuser in place of the existing focuser or attach it according to the telescope manufacturer’s instructions for outboard 2" focusers. Insert a 2" eyepiece or camera adapter and secure it with the focuser's clamp. Achieve focus through slow, deliberate adjustments of the drawtube; avoid sudden movements and keep the imaging train balanced to minimise mechanical strain. For astrophotography, adjust focus while monitoring star sharpness on a live view or by using a Bahtinov mask or software-assisted focusing tool.
Usage recommendations
For best results, ensure the focuser is properly aligned to the optical axis and that all clamps are tightened without over-torquing. Use a counterweight or balanced mounting when adding heavy cameras or accessories to reduce stress on the focuser and maintain consistent focus during long exposures.
