In painting mode..First photo is the Dec axis in my 'paintshop' after a first coat of satin black.

Up on the mount for the first time is the RA. Set at the correct angle and hopefully close to the SCP.

Under the RA is a pile of teflon 1mm thick furniture slides to aid smooth movement of the RA in Azimuth.

Another week and I should be done

Seriously think of a solid 12kg Brass counterweight
