Skywatcher Low profile dual speed focusser issue


Recommended Posts

Hi, just went to collimate the scope ahead of a quick midweek session, and noticed that it was way out ... went to check it with the laser collimator, and the draw tube bit almost fell out. Is looks like the tiny holes in the mounting plate:

... have come loose. Any idea what size they are (I assume they're allen head screws, but can't see them and have nothing that fits).

You can just see the little marks on the drawtube housing ring where they screw to.

Good job it fell out then, and not later when the 20mm Myriad was in it ...

Never mind. My son happened to have a very small allen key for adjusting the bridge on his electric guitar, and that fitted. Head's up, though, to all who use these focusers ... especially with heavy EPs. Keep an eye on the fit of those small screws!
