Thanks Alex

I love my Moonlite's. But I've always found the very small diameter speed knob on the controller to be to narrow for easy use.

So I called Alex (Mental4Astro) and discussed the idea of a larger diameter wheel to fit over the narrower Moonlite knob. I asked for an industrial look.

What he sent me was perfect. As a bit of an OCD perfectionist (some say pain in the RRR's) I'd be proud to claim his work as my own...can there be higher customer feedback than that? I would highly recommend his work.

This is what he sent me...

The timber is solid Aussie Jarrah with this piece, chrome plated screws, polished watch gears and then 3 coats of marine grade varnish. Came out a treat
