Oh gosh, it seems obvious now you point that out. Thankyou very much. Thanks also for the other replies. Next up, cleaning the primary…….

Hi, I’m looking for some advice with regard to replacing the focusser on my basic Skywatcher 200. I’ve tried renovating the existing one but when I use the very heavy 32mm panavision eyepiece the focus tube just gives way and so it’s impossible to focus. I’m thinking of investing in this: https://www.firstlightoptics.com/skywatcher-focusers/dual-speed-crayford-1252-inch-focuser-for-skywatcher-explorer.html Does anyone know if this will be a straight replacement and if it’s likely to improve my life? Many thanks, Mark
