Summary

The stock focuser for the SkyWatcher Starquest 130p Newtonian telescope is quite basic, and not great for astrophotography. It is quite tall so doesn't give much room when trying to get focus with a camera, and its also a little wobbly.

I designed a new low profile focuser in OnShape than can use the existing tube and hardware. I've uploaded two models one with a bracket for a ZWO EAF and one without. Could probably make even lower if using with a DSLR.

I printed using PLA+ with the focuser base (the curved part) on the print bed and used organic supports.
