Hi Ben,
Thanks for your comments, it was a fine dawn.
Sorry to disappoint but it is not a coffee tamper handle that you can see on the focuser. Rather a very boring cabinet handle. I have two installed; the one you can see and one on the underneath side of the focuser. These are perfectly placed to act as handles to manually slew the scope. They act just like the old style captain's wheel (ring) that you see on old scopes.
Cheers
Steve
