Thanks Troy.

I'm about one month behind with this project, but finally ready to take it to a dark sky location.
I made a completely new/redesigned front end (focuser + spider assembly) and it seems to work incredibly well. Visually I can't detect any image shift when I reverse focusing direction. Maybe the camera will see a couple of pixels but it won't be an issue. It would be very interesting to hear from Diego about his super duper secondary focuser in this regard.
I also made the dew shield and rigged up a guide scope.
