Filter Slide for 12" Lightbridge

[astronut (John)]

Over the last 2 1/2 years I've made many changes and additions to my 12" Lightbridge.
The latest has been the addition of the Moonlite Filter Slide.
Due to the fact that ALL Asian dobs have their spider positioned over the focuser, I had to reposition it before installing the filter slide.
When the weather finally clears I hope to test it under the stars.
I will certainly appreciate not having to fumble with filters in the dark.

Nice work, but just to be pedantic: I've seen three vein spiders from China that don't go in front of the focuser. (FWIW).

Enjoy the fruits of your work - Mike
