This video scares me though

Saw the video......

The FSQ focuser can be adjusted to counter that movement, there are 2 grub screws on the focuser body either side of the pinion assembly that can be adjusted to remove that movement. They have been sealed with clear varnish and need to have a drop of acetone on them to soften the seal. First you need to remove the pinion assembly completely, then adjust the draw tube guide grub screws, once that is done, reinstall the pinion assembly. The pinion mesh with the rack is also adjustable using four small grub screws adjacent to each of the set screws that hold the assembly onto the focuser. Use feeler gauge to set the pinion assembly square.
