SW 200 DPS focuser

[GTFC]

Hi

Finally found a question that google didn't tell me that SGL had already answered, must say I have used this forum for everything else so far, thanks.

Got my self set up now and was out on my second imaging session with my 350D and tried using the focus lock on my SW 200, however when locking up it altered the focus. This was a tad annoying, but not as much as the dew dropping which made me finally give in.

Any one else have this problem?

...Any one else have this problem?

I assume you're referring to one of these:

Yes, I do have this problem and it is more than a tad annoying. I have taken to inserting a strip of thin card around the focus tube to make a snug fit, otherwise the cam isn't aligned correctly and the stars are distorted. If anyone has any other solution, I'd love to hear it!

Yeah, that's the one Luke.

I'm away now for 2 weeks so can't get to play with it, I'll spend some time surfing and maybe find an answer or a focuser that is ok.
