That's the little reservation I have. Both cameras move together in the Crayford focuser. I suppose the answer is that focus in the guidecam is not mission-critical whereas the imaging camarea is. But swapping an eyepiece for the imaging camara, for example,unless it is parafocal with the camera is going to screw your guiding and vice versa. Seems a bit of a design drawback.
