Focusing Limits

Posted By Robert Watters

This is a common problem and what you need to do is move the primary miror up in the tube a little (closer to the focuser). This pushes the focal point out of the focuser a little further so that the focuser doesn't need to be racked in all the way. You don't need to move it much, maybe an inch or less. If you move it too much then your eyepieces (in normal viewing mode) might have problems focusing.

Focus is off because he was on the run.

Beautiful shots ( this and the quail). About how far away were you from the pheasant?
