If I remember correctly, moving the primary mirror up the tube towards the secondary (decreasing separation) makes the 'scope focus at infinity.

Moving the primary down the tube away from the secondary (increasing separation) makes it possible to focus on terrestrial objects.

Which way the focus knob turns to achieve this, I dunno. Will check when I next have the ‘scope out.

Cheers
