Asteroid1 Posted January 10, 2012 Author Share Posted January 10, 2012 Hi, i am a Astrologer & newbie stargazer...I have recently been gifted with the nexstar 4se. We have not been having much clear skies in SA. I have tried viewing the moon and had problems with the focus handle. i have spoken to the company and they had told me that i should focus on a tree abt 100 mtrs away and try focusing during the day. About 50 small rotations should help me adjust the focus handle. Am i doing something incorectly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asteroid1 Posted January 10, 2012 Author Share Posted January 10, 2012 Hey Alan, The manual is very general, does not expain much about the adjustment handle, therefore, i contacted Cstron directly...will have clear skies on thurday, will skywatch then and try adjusting the focus handle.

Nosivad Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I agree with what you have been told about focusing on something distant during the day. You have a Mak-Cassegrain mine is a Schmidt-Cassegrain but I think the focusing is done the same way- by a small handle at the bottom of the telescope which you turn. I find mine turns a great deal but focusing is all about the same place for stars as for distant trees. Persevere and I am sure you will find it.

Asteroid1 Posted January 10, 2012 Author Share Posted January 10, 2012 Yeah, the handle does turn rapidly, so i think some patience is needed with that...since i have had my scope, there has only been few clear nights...clouds, clouds & more clouds...
