Tony, thanks for that. I think all the scopes in this price range are similar (Chinese optics), but I will look into it
That particular model, no I don't believe it does rotate. You can tell by the photo of the rear of the scope. The R&P focusers which rotate have a lock knob on top near where the focuser attaches to the scope tube. However, TS does offer a rotation collar/adaptor which would replace the M68 to M63 adaptor discussed below:

I have one of these adaptors, which I might consider selling (as my TS115 focuser rotates). I sold my TS80 a couple of months ago in my collection downsizing, so I don't need that rotating adaptor anymore (but it could be used on the TS115 as well).
