Subject: [AZ-Observing] Re: Focusing Orion StarShoot Autoguider on Orion 50mm
helicoidal guide scope??
I don’t think adding an extension tube is the right approach. The Orion manual
actually suggests that I should remove the 1.25” T-mount nose and thread the
auto guider directly onto the 2” threads of the guide scope. So Orion seems to
be suggesting closer, not farther away, is better.

It is normal, per my experience, and that of others, that you need to add a
2" extension tube at the front of the camera.
Then.... you should be able to focus.
Do you have an extender tube, or know of someone with one that you can try it
out ??
What part of town are you in ?? I am in Tempe if that would help.
