Did this today and at zenith the focuser slipped so levelled the scope just gave the hex hole on top a tighten only a touch though put the scope back at zenith this time no slipping, Did not know this especially about the locking screw underneath very important information so thanks again Matt.....
The most weight that mine will carry is a Baader BBHS Mirror and a 21 Ethos and the Tak extender so I will do that today and thanks Matt
