As simple a design as possible Geoff. I'll post more on it later.
The scope got here today. It's a white one! As soon as I looked at the beautiful white tube I was having second thoughts about hacking her to pieces. But I think I'll still go ahead with it. I'm not sure whether to get a pro to cut the tube or if I should give it a go with the angle grinder.
And I got it with a Crayford for no extra charge.
And it's a good Crayford! not like the bumpy & sloppy one in my 8" Dob.
After having tried quite a number of them I consistently found that there are two models:
Good GS Crayford: EP securing screw on top (12 o'clock)
Bad GS Crayford: EP securing screw on the right (3 o'clock)
Good = smooth, no barrel slop even with tension off (slip under weight yes, but slop no)
Bad = opposite of good
