Meade illuminated reticle focus?

Posted By steen lee mortensen

I'm new to this so bear with me. I've just bought a meade 9 mm illuminated reticle second hand for off axis guiding. Here's the problem: When the image is focused in the cameras viewfinder the image in the reticle is out of focus. Sliding the reticle a bit out of the tube won't help - it just can't seem to reach focus.
There are two firmly locked screws on the side of the reticle (not the ones that moves the X-Y crosshairs)are they for focusing?
Hope you can help me.
sincerely
