Hey, looks great. Sorry was meaning to reply but have been very busy with life and work generally. Sounds like a good approach for the obs. What FL are you imaging at? Our local observatory notices movement @2500mm on a huge isolated pier from people walking about in the foyer, 15m away. How stable do you think the balcony is?
I notice wobble with moderate wind on mine at 1200mm so I'm planning to mount the entire floor on concrete cinder blocks at some point in the near future. When we find a more permanent housing arrangement, I'll concrete in the observatory and build a proper pier.
Have you seen this one on CN?
