I will:
1. Get the cord fixed
2. Have a play, taking on board the above comments, and
3. Let you all know how I get on
Thanks for the input RR, Paul R and Striker. I'll avoid plugging the focus cord in until after alignment! Good to know that after this the scope won't swing more than 1 revolution.
I use the up and down keys near the top of the handset to try to use the microfocuser. I use the up and down arrows at the bottom to select the speed of the microfocuser.
I have just checked the instructions and can see that I have never set the microfocuser in the halfway position before starting. I will try that next time. I am aware of it making a noise when I press the buttons, maybe it has always been at one end of its limits, and I have just never moved it the other way?! You'll have to forgive me, I'm not at all technologically minded!
Not sure what you mean about "the single thumb screw coming out of its housing" RR - I don't have a thumb screw on my model, and there is no mention of it in the manual. Where on the housing is your thumbscrew???
