Ah yes... but there's a difference between a bunch of simple "turny-onny" knobs and and "adjusty-wusty". If something requires adjustment, as such, the question "what is that for?" springs to mind - and must be accompanied by the inevitable long-winded explanation - especially when dealing with optics and complex celestial behaviour.
