Well, small problem.
Focuser would stall on calibration. Took it apart four times, finally decided to get a square out and sure enough, the cutout for the focuser on the OTA itself was not square. No big deal if you are manually focusing as the orange ring is decorative, not structural.
In order to square things up I had to put two nylon washers under one screw and one on another.
The focuser can now turn although it runs fast/slow as it makes a complete turn, but I was able to calibrate it. Needed to perform this as INDI has no calibration routine. Once calibrated, the values are stored in the focuser so that INDI can access it.
