Here are some pics of some accessories I have made for my lightbridge (With the help of my good friend Norm
). Firstly we made a booster to bring the ep up to my height (about 6'2") and help save my back and knees. Then we made a cover for the lower tube assembly that could go between the trusses and cover the top of the LTA. I didn't like the plastic mirror cover that came with the scope because I didn't like reaching down to put it on, and the risk of touching the mirror with it while putting it on. We also made a multi aperture mask for moon viewing. The mask has four 80mm size holes effectively halving my aperture to about 6". I don't like single off axis hole designs because I find that you get bad vignetting (I think that is the right term). With multi aperture I find that it is not as bad
. The last item was not made but bought. My mate Norm saw some great hobby box things at Bunnings and got one for me. Works a treat and now all my ep's can stay safe in the box and away from the evil dust and dew. Well thats it so go and have a look at the pics.
