Guess I'll muster the courage to take it out of the OTA and have a fiddle along the lines of the link.


John - when you say "screw holding the focuser wheel" - do you mean on the focussing knob shaft?


thanks again

Yes!! Look on the edge of the focusing wheel, you'll notice a hole.
Buried deep inside is a set screw. This holds the wheel to the shaft.
If the screw is loose, it will let the wheel rotate without making any focus adjustments.
