(Seen here is the Mark II)
I offer 3 types of FilterSlide Assemblies:
1) The "Original" FilterSlide
2) The Mark II
3) A Customized Assembly
*Each with Multiple Options*
The mark II
This design is intended to be used in conjunction with the Feather Touch Focuser made by Starlight Instruments via an adapter ring, made by them specifically for my FilterSlide assembly. As you can see in the pictures below, the adapter ring threads into the nose of the focuser tube.
My "Original" version is used on any Dobsonian scope with a focuser other than a Feather Touch. This version is designed so the customer will mount the rails to the UTA via 4 wood screws. Instructions are included.
THE OMEGA DEW TERMINATOR
"ODT" for short
PERMANENTLY MOUNTED
Specifically designed for the Astrocrumb FilterSlide.
Custom made fore each slide, No matter what length or
number of extra holes.
To be used in conjunction with standard dew controllers.
(Like the Kendrick, Thousand Oaks or Astro-Cube)
The Birch Cases
It's a good idea to protect your investment in filters! I've designed this case for convenience in the dark and to stand up to the abuse in your accessories case. Birch wood. Ipswitch pine stain. Satin varnish. I am also offering custom cases that will hold 2 or more FilterSlides. It is simply the same design, just stacked together.
ADDITIONAL HOLES!
The new FilterSlide and accessories can be custom made with additional filter positions. You can order up to as many as 8 filter holes in one slide! But 8 might make it a bit extreme. Your call on how many you would like. Cases and ODT's can be made to fit custom length.

While there isn't much affect whist actually observing, the intrusion into the light path can be minimized what extra attention to the mounting.
