HELP WO focuser?

Hello,

I just acquired a WO 80mm ZenithStar (black model) on Astromart. The focuser is not engaging with the sleeve. I don't have any instructions with the scope, so i am not sure if there is a locking nut or something that might be preventing the sleeve from moving when I turn the focus knobs.

Any advice?

Thanks,
Chris Watts

Probably the seller tighted down the focuser lock when it was shipped. This locks the drawtube but disengages the focuser.

The focuser lock is normally a chrome plated knurled thumbscrew on the undersided of the focuser. Behind it is a knurled thumb nut which tightens the focuser. If you loosen the focuser lock all should be fine.

Otherwise, Email William Optics, they are very quite to respond and very helpful.

And enjoy your new scope.
