TheSkySearchers

Since we're in the testing phase, I thought it might prove helpful to try a post with a couple of attachments in one of the sub-forums...

I have three Skywatcher telescopes (one 100mm & two 80mm). The SW focusers can be a little tricky to adjust, even to those accustomed to "regular" Crayford style focusers. I came across this piece when helping a friend in Florida a couple of years ago.

I have the entire article in PDF format, but can't attach it to the forum. If anyone needs it, please send a PM with your email address.

Okay! I had two files that I attached, but only one showed up above. I'll post it here...

I'm going to try one more time to attach both pics below...

It seems that the forum doesn't like two files placed in-line in the same thread. It's not a major issue, as one can simply make two separate posts (each with one pic).

I'm gonna try it one more time without trying to stack them myself, omitting a "Return" between the placement...

Bingo!

By just letting the forum place them in-line without any spaces or return, they will be stacked as we like 'em.

Not a big deal, but something to remember for the future.

Thank you for the write up John, hopefully the PDF upload is a minor fix to activate.

Testing PDF upload as an attachment...

Works great! Thank you, Gordon.

Not a problem!

Thanks for uploading!
I have had this manual on my computer and used it two times.
Very useful!
So owners of this focusser: Download it!!
Sooner or later you'll be thankful to have done so!
Thanks Lowjiber and Gordon!

Thanks for the pdf,
I have recently bought an ED80 and was thinking that the focuser was a bit loose and feeling a little nervous about hanging a dslr from it.
I'll give this procedure a try!
