Thin  /// Accurate /// Repeatable /// Rock Solid!

FLI's digital focusers are specifically designed for modern CCD astronomy where the digital imaging system is mounted very close to correct focus. The thin designs allow focusing with short-travel optical designs. All of our focusers are ASCOM compliant and are supplied with a trial version of FocusAide.

For critical focusing -  use an FLI Focuser
