If you really want to get fancy, you could adapt a generic motor focus for a
big Schmidt Cassegrain telescope. Just hook it up to the adjuster screw and
put a rocker switch on the dash. Left for up and right for down.
Yes, I have thought about this also.
For now, I just let the cars flash me.

Thanks for that suggestion Bob. Actually, the extension
does seem to live on as the "Flexi-Mate" e.g. as seen here:
http://www.pulsar-optical.co.uk/prod/Astro-Engineering/ETX-fleximate/AC343-A
C344-AC345.html
although I'm inclined to try out a 1/4" socket extension like this:
http://www.axminster.co.uk/proxxon-proxxon-1-4-drive-flexible-extension-bar-
prod806517/
because I think the Fleximate collar is a little bit undersized for this
application.
Michael Toolmath, I'm glad to hear that I'm not alone in having this
problem.
I'll let you know how I get on.
