How much do the surrounding trees restrict sky access?

Mike

They restrict a fair bit, can't really pick up an object until its close to the zenith but can see it all the way down.

Also the block is NNW/SSE oriented so I get a good view of the south and at the moment about 20 degrees past the galactic centre. So it's not unrestricted like Bigga.

Today I put on the roof with insulation under it and one more board of cladding plus order the cappings.

Not quite sure how to orient the pier. I may set up a temporary scope and mount and do a rough polar alignment so I bolt the pier in the correct orientation.

Greg.
