Was in Sydney last week and had a chat with Lee at Andrews and told him about my very stiff focuser. He told me to send it to him and he would sent it to his guy in Brisbane. IT MAY TAKE 2-3 WEEKS TO GET IT BACK. I don't want to go without viewing for that long. Any ideas how to loosen it up a bit? I have unscrewed (a little)the four screws holding the focuser arm, but that hasn't helped at all. I'm on holidays for 2 weeks starting Friday and dont want to go the entire holidays without looking up. Any help in this area would be very much appreciated. If push comes to shove I could always use the time to heavily modify my scope (Frankie, If you have seen my due shield you would understand why I called it Frankie) and add an eyepeice or 2 to my collection.
