Filter Slide

[StarGazing]

Hi guys and girls,
I was wondering if anyone might know were I could get a filter slide from for my dob ?????? Looking to purchase some filters soon and since I have 2" and 1.25" EP's I was thinking of using a 2" filter slide.

These are the only ones I know of; I've considered getting one but I'd have to move my secondary spider

Thanks Jethro.
Alex.:thanx:

Try Uncle Ron as well though, his stuff is good, and his service is even better.

You beat me to the punch...I was going to suggest a web visit to Moonlite

[JethroB76]

I never thought of Moonlite

I have installed a Moonlite Filter slide on my 12" LB.
I had to relocate the spider, for the slide to fit.
Works brilliantly, I now use my filters all the time.:thumbsup:

Looks Great John. How did it fit with the existing equipment ????

Alex. :)

No problems at all Alex.:thumbsup:
All standard equipment used. "Just remember to measure twice and cut
once"
A very good piece of advice, given to me.:lol:

Peter Read from SDM Telescopes fitted one on the Mary Rose, and I think he would be able to get one in, and even fit it for you if you are prepared to make the drive to Shepparton. They are a great gadget, except in dewy conditions.

Thanks Rod, makes good sense.
Alex :thumbsup:

Rod & Alex,
If you attach a heater to the Filter slide (like mine) it can be used year round without any dewing problems.:thumbsup:

racks shortly.
