Hi all. When I bought my dob it had a home made table. Unfortunately it sits outside and the mdf top has seen better days. Besides the fact I was sick of the scope moving as I spun it around from star to star therefore getting it off north or centre all the time. Just when I put it back and zero it in again, it moved again.

So, I've taken the mdf off (easier said than done as it was screwed down pretty well) and put some treated pine down instead.

To avoid the scope moving, I've drilled three feet holes so it all sits nice and still.

To help me find north when I set up, the little arrow with a saw cut into it pointing down so when I mark a line on the ground, it's easier to line up. This should hopefully save me about half an hour setting up and finding north, checking a set target and manoeuvring until it's spot on.

Just something I figured may help me. It's yet to be tested but may help others who have the same struggles.


Regards
Scott
