Orion SkyQuest XT10 focuser

Is there an upgrade kit for the standard focuser? The objects move when I adjust the focuser. I think it is a rack and opinion rather than a Crayford?

Hello, you can adjust the tension of the rack by tightening the screws on the plate that holds the rack in place, each side of the lock screw. it depends if you want finer focus control, if you do there are options out there, moonlight, steeltrack, revelation ect... i have changed to a steeltrack for finer focus with a camera, when i changed i had to drill holes for the new focuser, now i think there are plates for the ota so this is not nessesary now, hope i have helped you, check those tension screws. cheers chris

They are stiff to turn, I will have a go, thanks

This is the focuser. I will have a go at adjusting it but I’m wondering if there are better options?
