Baader Steeltrack Adjustment Screws?

[BlueAstra]

Can anyone confirm what these screws do on a Baader 3" Steeltrack focusser. The photo is the underneth of the focusser, A and B are directly under the drawtube. The screws on the other side are obscured by a focus motor. I think:

A- Tension

B- Locking

C - ?

D - Holds bearing for focus knob?

Hi,

Long shot as this is an old post

But did you find the answer as I could do with knowing so I can fit my motor to mine, are screws C blanks and can they be used as mounting holes for motor bracket??

Sorry, never got a reply. I sold the scope with the focuser, so I don't have it now to check. I actually mounted a Baader Steeldrive motor on mine. It attached with screws that clamped into the grooves above and below screw D in the photo. I suspect that the screws are as I labelled, with C being the screws that hold the plate against the focuser drawtube.

Ok thanks for that

I have also been told that those screws marked as C in your image, are blanks and are just filling a hole, so can be used to mount an auto focuser assembly, so conflicting advice, I see I am going to have to be careful when removing them if what you say is correct.

Thanks for the reply appreciate it.
