A couple of changes.

Done a couple of changes.... Removed the StellarVue Tripod....and replaced it with the ' Bintel ' SkyView Tripod.

.... and also I have a proper ' pan handle ' for the Scope.

Only thing now....work out how I can ' make ' an eyepiece tray for it....

My idea is a ' wooden eyepiece ' tray....fitted down over the centre column ( so you can just spin it full 360 around ) ...and 3 eyepieces per side of the column....total 6

The legs ' spread ' further apart, making a more ' sure footed ' steadiness.
I reckon it looks good.

A very simple setup that works well......... and no star alignment necessary

The Pronto is upstairs all by itself and the Meade LB ....is sitting under the house.

Now I have a spare StellarVue Tripod .... what to do with it.....??
