And from the C9.25 Manual, we have a diagram of the focuser as shown below. I no longer have this knob as I replaced mine with a Hutech mirror lock assembly.

So, it appears that:

Turn focus knob CCW to move primary closer to secondary.
Turn focus knob CW to increase primary / secondary separation.

Does that make sense?

Cheers

Dennis

Edit: Reading the manual further (a novelty for me!) we have:

"Once an image is in focus, turn the knob clockwise to focus on a closer object and counterclockwise for a more distant object".
