Thanks for the replies so far,

Is the focuser a crayford style? If so is it slipping as it is racked inwards?
It is the focuser on the Orion eon 115mm


"Rock-solid, rotatable 3" dual-speed (11:1) Crayford focuser provides precise focus control and stable support of imaging accessories"



With regards the slippage, there is a tensioner on the telescope to put pressure on the mechanism, would you say this needs slackening?



I will look into the slippage/backlash, they sound like things i can fix or deal with.




Thanks Bojan for the suggestion on the encoders, hopefully it's not those but i now have them in mind.


Jack
