My brand new Argo Navis arrived Monday. Thanks Gary!!
I've now made a "Bunnings Stalk" similar to that suggested in
http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/showthread.php?p=375810#post375810. I used a standard extension pole from the paint section with a pull pin to allow height adjustment and a Pro-edge paint trimmer with an adjustable knuckle to allow the angle to be adjusted. These two ideas came from Garin on the Argo Navis Yahoo support group.
Now all I need is for the clouds to go away and some free time at night. Can't wait!!!
