I am still tuning the stiffness of the pad to make the tuning as smooth as possible. Then the pads will be available.


I do not look at the sky with the eyes of an astronomer, but of a person looking for the beauty of nature.

The damage is too serious. I deliberately inquired about my order many years ago. This is the "foam silicone gasket". I tried to replace it, but it is harder than the original one. The effect is not very good, but I can slowly find a more flexible one.
