Wow Rod !!! Your getting the hang of it !. The first thing I did when I got the scope (same as yours) was realise how back bending it was to get the scope aligned with the object you want. I thought If I added a small piece of PVC -white of course,in between the focuser and the finder scope,this will help. This will be my first guide to whatever I am looking at, then hit the Finder scope. This simple device, made it so much easier.
I then realised how back breaking it was to cart the thing in and out of my garage all the time. I bought a 10 pram with big wheels, and stripped it down, cut it thought the middle, and made it flat and wide like a trolley. My Dob sits right on top. It gives you the extra hight you need as well. With the eyepiece pointing at the zenith, It is just my hieght. Cool heh ?
A small DC computer fan on the back of the dob,- right onto the primary mirror, suspended on rubber bands, or in my case, my daughters hair ties, works a treat.
I have some colour filters, and a lunar glare reducer, if you want to try before you buy!
