A little scare, a quick fix
Our Sky-Watcher HelioStar 76Ha Solar telescope mounted on the observatory’s permanent mount. The focuser, for those new to these things, is operated via the silver knob seen at the lower end of the telescope. Photo by James Guilford.A couple of days ago, during a rather ambitious solar imaging session, the focuser on our Sky-Watcher HelioStar 76Ha telescope failed. And by failure, we mean the specialize diagonal that holds an eyepiece or camera would not stay put! The focuser would barely move the assembly and, once released, the diagonal plus camera would … zzzzzzip! … slide outward as far as it could. As one might expect, that sort of thing makes the telescope worthless. Disappointment? Disaster?
Contacting Agena Astro, the telescope’s seller, their rep. reminded us that the unit was still under warranty and supplied contact information for Sky-Watcher USA’s Support. Sending off an email describing the issue we waited a reply. “Sounds like the focuser might need to be adjusted,” came the reply a short time later. “Don’t worry we have a lot of adjustment with this focuser.” Adjusting three screws on the focuser, as instructed, and within five minutes the system was working good as new!
The Sun as it appeared via hydrogen-alpha light on April 24, 2026; as imaged using the Sky-Watcher HelioStar 76Ha Solar telescope, and a ZWO ASI monochrome camera. False color applied. Image by James Guilford.So there was a little scare. Excellent support provided by the retailer and the manufacturer. A quick fix. And we were able to take advantage of excellent conditions today, making images of our local star!

Hey #skywatcher fedi, just saw this when leaving work today #Perth #WesternAustralia
Is there some space thing going on or is this a conventional aircraft effect?

Got myself the Sky-Watcher Solar Quest mount to speed up how I do solar astronomy. It's hard setting up my EQ mount during lunch breaks!

Been working on a #3Dprint lightshroud design for my #Skywatcher #heritage 150 #telescope.
This wasn't quite the final design, it had a gap between the parts at the highest joint, but it was 99% complete when this became apparent during the print. I'm out of black filament (more have been ordered) but while incomplete this was sufficient to finish with some cable ties.
Once fully tested I'll put the final version on #thangs.com

The Milkyway above Marokopa falls. Waikato, Aotearoa/New Zealand. An epic night out shooting with fellow #milkywaychaser Andrew Francombe on one of the more sketchy Astro missions I’ve done. Fell down a bank a couple of times and came back with a bunch of bumps, scrapes, clothes covered in mud - and this shot of the Milkyway over the falls. 🎉
