Operation Guide
Focuser Tension Adjustment
There’s two side to build WIFD focuser tension:
BUTTON / Rack & Pinion Gear
- Quick tension adjustment knob
- Smoothness adjustment - Pull in (3mm Hex)
- Smoothness adjustment - Push out (2mm Hex)
- Can be removed to attach the electronic devices such as EAF (refer to Installing EAF) or be used as a spare.
- Please Don’t Touch
TOP / Focuser Draw Tube
- Focuser Draw Tube Tension Screws Please Don’t Touch
- Guider/Finder bracket mounting screws (2.5mm Hex)
The focuser smoothness adjustment ONLY when necessary by progressively push & pull screws until you reach the desired smoothness.
When using the telescope with the motor, be sure not to over-tighten the tension screw, as this could damage the focuser. Consider it like driving a car while pressing both the gas and brake pedals simultaneously. Just as this could harm your car's systems, over-tightening the tension screw can compromise your telescope's focuser functionality.
Sensor Tilt Adjustment
Where is the tilt adjuster?
- Remove the rotator knob.
- Remove the ring cover.
- The tilt adapter is inside.
Adjusting Instruction
Installing EAF
- Turn the telescope over and remove the Tension screw.
- Remove the top cover screw near the temperature gauge with 2mm Allen key.
- Release (don’t remove) two inner knob screws.
- Remove the temperature gauge knob.
- Find the flat side on the shaft and turn it to face the hole.
- Put the 5-6mm Flexible coupling on the shaft and lock the two inner screws.
- Put the EAF body on and lock the two inner screws.
On Step 6 & 7:
Please make sure one of the screws is lock on the flat side
- Align the screw holes.

Installing Filter
Only applies to the M48 camera adapter ( There are no filter threads on the M54 adapter, filter wheel is used instead )
- Lock the Rotator
- Take off the M48 adapter
- Lock the filter ( male thread ) inside the M48 adapter ( female thread )
- It is recommended to apply some lubricating oil on the threads first to avoid being permanently tightened.
