Well I waited for months for my SX filterwheel and OAG to come plus my filters. Last night I used it for the first time and was pleasantly surprised to see stars in the guide cam !
But I adjusted focus then locked it with the little allen head grub screw (OAG).
After that I found out that my Baader filters were not parfocal so I wanted to adjust the focus of the scope and the OAG again.
Not happy- as using the SX allen key it just stripped the top of the grub screw and now its jammed , precisely the second time I have used the tool on it. This is terrible QC. Plus now I have a jammed OAG.
IS the only alternative drilling it out? (or sending it back? )
This has marred a really good experience with all my kit I have collected since last year finally together on the big frac. ( FLI 8300, WO FLT 132, SX FW, Baader LRGB, SX OAG, Lodestar)and finally LRGB imaging again (hence clouds + rain in Tas today, sorry folks!)
Any advice gratefully received
