Hi All,
I need some feedback/ideas on a challenge I have with my observatory.
It's on the top of a brick walled Laundry and I want to put up a steel pier to get some of the shake and flex out of the setup (Currently wooded support beams and wooden floor).
I was thinking of laying a steel bearer under the floor from brick to brick (Span of 4m) and bolting to the bricks. I would then cut a hole in the wooded floor and bolt the pier direct to it.
Thinking of using C Section channel of 300mm-ish so it matches the footing on the pier (I don’t have a pier yet and need to have one made or purchase if I can find a reasonably priced one…)
Its for Imaging using AZ-EQ6 with a C9.25 on it.
Any ideas would be great or if you think I’ve had too much Christmas eggnog, happy for the feedback.
Peter
