BY thumbscrew do you mean the 3 screws holding the camera in?

No, on the Starwave 50 there is a single thumbscrew that allows you to lock the focuser. I loosen this to focus, and then use it as a fine lever to focus. The lock it off again.

 

If you're removing the diagonal are you sure that you can get enough back-focus to ever achieve focus with your GPCam?

Also, the camera image shouldn't rotate as you focus. There's something wrong there.
