Thanks bigjoe and Wavy...The byers gear is brilliant, as is the Mathis one too.
A new mod to the scope....from the land of smooth...a Feather Touch focuser on the 6".
This focuser has been kicking around my shed for a few years...bought it, sold it and bought it back again...
what to do with it
Use it...that is the answer. The GSO is a good, but not in the same league as the FT.
I bought a round adaptor meant for Newtonian scopes that has collimation bolts. All I needed to do was cut a flange out of 6 and 12mm aluminium sheet to mount the FT on the scope....easy
Gave it a bit of 'steampunk' interest with black paint and a brass backing plate.
