Dave thank you for the ideas I will test these out and see...I've had this for over 5 months now and have been unable to get it to work...all these ideas are amazing and hopefully I will be able to learn help others at some point!

So I'm pretty sure it functions properly the tube moves up and down freely and if I turn the screw it will lock it into position...previous owner did only use this scope for astrophotography I cant thank you enough for this advise unfortunately I'm at work this evening and will not be able to test these suggestions until tommorow...hopefully I'm understanding the function of the focuser it is only on component that moves correct?

Never heard of that scope will have to look very nice

1.I have a dew heater no shield 2.no shape change I've seen 3.rack and pinion (will add photo) 4. I have a 9mm and celestron kit very low quality kit but was told it will work 5.collimation seems ok but I might have done it wrong

I will admit I became over excited and purchased this scope with very little to no experience but I am baffled as to why nothing comes into view moon is just a bright blur and any other planet just looks like a black spot previous owner showed me amazing pics with this scope

Hi Dave I will send a pic as soon as I figure it out lol telling me file is to big

Meade ldx75...schmidt newtonian 10 inch

I bought a meade 10 inch scope with the ldx75 stand I have been unable to figure out autostar...besides that I have not been able to get anything to focus at all not even the moon have tried every lense I have but nothing just a blur
