Feathertouch focuser upgrade or maybe not ? Bit of fun.

[Telescope40]

Hello all.  Bit of fun really. Not an option in the long run me thinks. I just found an Astro Engineering focusing ring in my “spares” box. 
Just fits nicely on the FT focuser on my Stellarvue SV 102 ED frac. 
Feeling like a bit a heathen tbh. 😜😜

Nice one, is it now an Ultra Feather Touch Super Precision Focusser. 🙂

Maybe add a pointer so you can index it.

That Astro Systems part has clearly Focused your thinking, John!

Maybe you could do a Turn with it at Kelling??

There again, maybe you shouldn't Pinion your hopes on it catching on..

I'll leave now before I get put to the Rack!

This place really is going down the tube.

Crikey, you'll be able to spin wool using that! Just need Gina to design a drive mechanism for it 🤣👍👍

Here and here

1.75" and 3" diameter knobs. Sir Connery would be pleased!
