Great idea, and one I have pondered (no relation Paul) myself.
The focuser position is a pain in any newt, and I have made a split cradle that surrounds the tube proper, and has the altitude bearings mounted on the outside. A suitable clasp pulls this cradle together, but when released, slightly, allows the tube to be rotated. I can then roll the tube to afford the desired eyepiece position.
Keep at it Mick.
