I just acquired a 2007 classic Obsession 20" F5.? The scope looks to be in excellent shape.? I assembled the scope being careful to place the strut poles in the blocks according to the previous owners labels on the blocks and poles.? Attached the Upper Cage Assembly and collimated the mirrors with my HG laser and then also eyeballed it with the cats eye tools.? I just rolled the scope out to look at the moon.? I am unable to bring??? ANY?? of my eyepieces to focus on the moon.? 17mm Nagler, 35mm Orion Deep View, 42mm Deep view, 40 mm Meade Plossl, and many others, tried everything in my case.?
The focuser is racked all the way in, not enough inward travel.
I double checked to ensure the poles are fully seated in the blocks on the mirror box, and that the Upper Cage Assembly is properly seated on the poles and secured.
I have an Obsession 18 UC, but this is my first experience with an Obsession Classic.
What am I doing wrong??
I have had many DOBs but this is my first really big classic style.
