Yep, so I decided to go for the Scope Stuff longer model. After I've verified operation, I'll drill a couple of small dimples in it for the grub screw tip to sit in. I'm not worried about the lack of rotation by doing this, but I could drill dimples, say every 60 degrees or so if needed.
The end load will basically just be the 1000d body and a small 12mm illum reticule EP, no big 2" 40mm jobs! Well, at least until I try it
The biggest danger to the focusser train is my colliding with it in the dark.
