Focusser adjustment for Ha advice

Post by skyhawk »

Any ideas appreciated.

The 72mm scope is good but with all the weight the focusser slips, any ideas appreciated

thank you

Oh any advice on an alternative focusser also

Just for info, if I ever come over as "blunt" or upset it is not intentional, I am AUTISTIC, I have Aspergers, and ADHD, Autism, so my apologies if I ever sound, unintentionally confrontational. Thank you

Given a choice I use a Starlight focuser on any of my scopes. Moonlites are good but over time the bearings fail and while annoying is still usable. I have not come across this in any of my Starlight focusers.
