A minor adjustment

It occurred to me, after banging my hand on the dovetail bar, after reaching for the right hand side focusing knob, that I could do something about it. So, I've flipped the dovetail around so the extended bit is at the front and now I can use both focus knobs. Much better. I had to remove both tube rings, swap the positions around before refitting so as to keep the piggyback camera point at the front and the locking nuts at the top, but that's an easy one.

I'm now trying to decide whether to get some machined aluminium focus knobs to replace the plastic ones I have now, or to buy a crayford focuser instead, or indeed whether to just leave it alone for now.
