intravel doesnt seem to be a problem, It seems to come to focus around the middle of the travel so plenty each way. I read that to focus the EP's you close the left eye and turn the right focuser until sharp and vice versa. I tried this and it was getting better but it was hard without counterweights as I had to keep holding the scope up to keep the star in view. maybe an eye patch might help. A diagonal might not be a good idea. My focuser is already crying out for help. Maybe focusing on a terrestrial target during the day would be easier. Thanks Renato, I will try turning the EP's in the holder. It looks like I am going to a dark site on the weekend and good weather so I will have plenty of time to work it out.
