Possibly, but I can't see anything that looks adjustable beyond what I've already done.

The other question is how this happened, as the focuser was working fine before. The only thing I can come up with is that I store the telescope case on its side rather than flat, and it seems the way I put the scope in may have been putting weight on the fine focus knob. So maybe over time something has shifted. Or, worst case scenario, something is now bent.
