It just simply won't grip properly if the OTA is pointing even remotely upwards. Even with a 2" eyepiece (no camera). My mate noticed it last night. You basically have to put pressure on the bottom of the 2" diagonal as you're trying to focus in order for it to grab. I've tried tightening etc, does S.F.A. I was so surprised that it focused last night with the camera on. The last time I tried, it only not only refused to come to focus witih the camera on, but when I took the camera off and put the diagonal and eyepiece back on, I couldn't gain focus with it either. I can only think that the internal focusing unit is damaged. I prolly should return it to Andrews, especially since I raised it as an issue within 2 months of buying the unit.
