Default When a good bit of British Engineering makes my day

Hi there All,

snip

Anyhow, searching through the astronomy equipment small ads, I found
AstroParts. A quick measure up and a drawing later I sent the idea off to
them
and, bingo, a few weeks later the adaptor was made.
Brian Brooks is a very helpful chap - good workmanship too!


Yes, I'll second that
- Brian came to my rescue about a year ago when a very well known company
was unable to supply me with a focusing mechanism (despite advertising it
etc.) correctly capable of taking my 2" widefield eyepiece.
And for me, he's local.
