*longer thumb screws to replace secondary collimation screws

Son los aislantes de cañeria que se usan en fontanería, esta me parece acertada, al menos en dos de las barras. Cuando en invierno tengas que agarrar los tubos para montar y desmontar el tubo de la montura te vas a enterar de lo que es un tubo frio. Es muy normal hacerlo en tripodes fotograficos. coste=1€#
*shroud (see
www.astrozap.com)

esta es la camisa de la que hablabamos antes. Creo que no merece pagar por ello. Puedes usar incluso bolsas de basura de comunidad y un poco de velcro adhesivo. Si lo puedes hacer de nylon negro mejor. #
*knob-headed bolts to replace collimation screws on primary
*UTA extension plate (plastic is OK) to extend UTA on side opposite focuser to prevent light from entering bottom of eyepiece over the end of the tube.

Creo que esto lo puedes hacer con una lámina de plastico negro (de ese de las carpetas) y velcro adhesivo. En una papeleria: 3-4€ #
*adjustable weight system to balance heavy eyepiece/Paracorr, etc.
*If rotating the UTA to allow right-hand control of scope, the finder has to be moved to the other side of the focuser
*rotate the focuser so the knobs are at a 45 degree angle so they are on either side of the focuser and conveniently located over most of the scope's altitude travel
*Mark/number the pole pairs and scope parts so reassembly always uses
the same poles in the same orientation. This will significantly reduce collimation time.

tán lógico como fundamental, ya sabes: Dymo o rotulador. Etiquetas adhesivas de colores...#*make sure secondary is not squeezed by plastic housing. If it is, sand the plastic so the mirror fits more loosely. This will reduce astigmatism in the scope if it's there.
* measure the center dot/ring on the primary to make sure it's centered to 0.01" (or better if possible. At this ratio, perfect collimation requires the dot be perfectly centered. Move the dot if necessary, or, preferably, replace it with a Catseye triangle (best collimation tools are also from Catseye Collimation).
*buy a slew of high-end eyepieces to enjoy the f/5 views without astigmatism at the edge of the field.
That last one will be the most enjoyable mod, but the most enxpensive.
