Hi everyone,

Another update First is a custom knob for a feathertouch focuser. An IIS member came up with an idea of attaching a large wheel to the 10:1 focusing knob of his feathertouch to make life easier As you can see in the cross-section view, we have added some knurling to the surface to help with grip, gave it a hollow section to save weight and strengthened the area where the grub screw would be tapped in to secure it over the 10:1 wheel.

Second are tabs we developed which slide over any wooden baht masks, if you wanted a mask that sits over the telescope rather than inside it. We are also working on a custom radial block for a C8 to help seat the guider package correctly, and even helping produce a repair part for a watercooler!

Keep them ideas and designs coming in
