Hi all.
I recently bought an ATX85 kit from Tring Observatory. It arrived today. However, I have noticed that the zoom is really stiff to turn. I certainly can't zoom using one finger...I need to use finger and thumb and it's still difficult to zoom. Indeed, I have to change the position of my hand so that the thumb is on top to allow me to twist it round. Is this expected? Will it free up over time or should I be considering returning to Tring for an exchange?
I have to say, after splashing the cash, I'm not especially impressed.
Thanks for any guidance or views you can offer.
Regards, Phill
