I dont see any real reason to image at F10 other than splitting the trap...
For me, even F/6.3 isnt easy @ 1764mm

Your guiding will have to be pretty much spot on imaging at that FL.

You can make it out of a piece of perspex or similar, even wood.
Cut out a circle so you can wrap all your fingers around it, say around 5-7cm dia' then cut a smaller hole in the centre to fit snuggly over the focus knob so as not to slip.

That is a very good idea but instead I am wanting to purchase a crayford focuser. We'll see what happens.
