Dave, thanks for the review. Great collection of photos, which I always appreciate in a product review.
I must admit that I am quite surprised that it doesn't fit into a Feathertouch focuser properly. You would think that would have been one of the focusers it was tested on.  It's funny that I've never read this in any of the forums where I've seen the BLUG discussed. Thanks for the heads up.
And thanks for the installation description... I don't think I'd care to have this thing suspended over an expensive primary, secured by a piece of shim stock. There are other similar devices on the market that screw onto a laser collimator, which seems like a better idea.
I agree that modifying the BLUG in your machine shop is a lot of work for a $60 accessory.
I guess I'll just keep using my Kendrick and cheshire.
