Thanks guys. I found the grub screws and nipped them up a bit. Just a tiny bit more tension in there now.

I have done a bit of practicing with the lever underneath. I can see how that works and it makes a hugh difference. Obvious now that it has been pointed out.

I am confident the focuser will now support the 1600 and filterwheel.

I am pleased that the issue of manual focus was raised. I have spent a lot of time to automate my system, but I get so much enjoyment sitting there attending the mount and scope. I actually do like doing the manual focus. I thought I must have been the odd one out. I really do enjoy the peace and solitude of sitting under the stars.

My dilemma now is whether to upgrade to a Moonlite (maybe non-motorised).

Darrell
