Here is an essential
component of the three ring adjust mechanism for the guide scope
on the side of the 8 inch Astrograph up in Happy Jack. To keep
the six adjust screws from both denting and carving off the paint
on the guiding refractor which normally carries a CCD camera
for feed into the computer nearby - I came up with these cap
covers for the screw ends. Amusingly, I first designed it up
with red color, thinking this was the perfect color, then went
ahead and printed up a set in blue for the Payson Observatory!
Then when I got the glow in the dark filament - that was it,
the perfect color for the scope in Happy Jack. So you will see
all three colors here!
