I have just received my new Moonlight Focuser for my GSO RC10 and when it arrived it has a new feature of a "slip clutch". This has the addition of a new lock ring next to the stepper motor that allows for an amount of adjustable "slip" when unlocked the Manual knob on the right can then be used to rack the focuser in and out.
Quote from included paperwork:
" The amount of slip can be adjusted on the new slip clutch by adjusting the tightness of the slip clutch ring. For manual knob operation of the focuser, turn the silver knurled ring loose. For motor operation of the focuser, tighten the silver knurled ring.
to adjust the knurled rings tension, it helps to hold the manual knob still with your right hand and turn the clutch ring with your left hand. Holding the manual knob in place will keep the shaft from turning allowing the clutch ring to tighten/loosen the clutch."
I haven't had it out for first light yet but hope this will happen in the next few days.
All the best
Paul
