First light on DIY pier and adapter

First light was white light.

Pier finished a couple of days ago, DIY adapter plate installed yesterday.

EQ6 setup today, everything level and balanced, local solar noon checked, all good.

Set mount to solar tracking and image stayed in center of fov for a couple of hours. very happy so far!

Bound to be cloudy tonight!

Check out my solar finder, everyone has got one of these finders sitting in the shed?

Next job, remove all the garden stuff back to the fence ready for the slab and the shed/observatory.

Happy days.
