Skywatcher 200P help!!

[SmoothOperator]

Hi guys hope you are all well!

im a beginner stargazer with a skywatcher 200p. As a beginner I haven’t tinkered with the scope at all however I’m having an issue with the focuser where when I adjust it outwards the tube will slide back down making focusing very annoying. There is a locking bolt to hold the focuser in place but this disengages the adjusters so once locked cannot be adjusted anymore. I can’t see anything obvious such as a loose bolt so any suggestions on how to fix this?

any help is much appreciated, thanks in advance

Hi SmoothOperater.

I can't see from the picture,  is there a grub screw just below the locking bolt .

That will tighten or loosen the focuser..

Hi Dave.

thanks a lot for the quick reply!

There is a small black grub screw below the locking bolt, is this the baby?

That's the one it should tighten or loosen the focuser movement.
