Marked the north-south line from a shadow off a level at solar noon the other day. I confirmed it again today.
I then lined up my pier with that north south line and the mounting holes for the PME mount. This was from advice by Paul Haese - thanks Paul!
I then levelled using metal washers as packers. Then I installed 6 x 10mm x 50mm anchor bolts into the slab and the pier.
Then I put grout under the bottom of the pier where it had minor gaps.
Then installed the PME now with the saddle in the correct orientation fixed on the mount.
Then reinstalled the scope and camera etc. Then gave it a bit of test run in the daylight and it all looks good ready for a polar alignment tweak then start imaging.
Cloudy though of course but I am happy everything is ready to go next clear night.
Greg.
