I'd like to thank Dave for his Blug review. I think it was factual, fair, and very well illustrated.
There's a big variation in the dimensions of inner drawtube ends of the various makes of focusers; for example, I'm hearing that some older Feathertouch focusers have an even larger, and eccentric drawtube opening. I wish the draw tube openings were standardized at both ends :- ) The prototype Blug worked fine in my JMI and Moonlite focusers, so I crossed my fingers, supplied the shim kit, and warned people of possible fit problems.
I am going to measure all the popular drawtubes, and develop fit fixes for them as necessary. Also, I am correcting the finish problem mentioned by Dave. Dave's fit fix for the Feathertouch looks excellent, and I may, with due credit and permission, happily steal it from him.
Now that it fits his Feathertouch, I'd be interested in getting Dave's impressions after he's had a chance to use it by himself.
Clear skies - perfect collimation,
Howie
