3mx5m R.O.R

[miki63au]

Hello everyone,


A long time dream and finally made it :D
Not a masterpiece, but this is what I managed to build with the budget,time and health. 2 years ago started with the pier base... then a bloody hospital visit with complications interrupted progress... fast frwrd still alive and winging :lol:


It is a 3mx5m roll off using gate roller and tracks.

Still lots of things to fix, adjust... :screwy:

Hi Mik , Well done mate. Hope no-one drives down that track. They'll take out the corner post :lol:
Cheers, Richard

Yeah, the post is in grave danger... will remove the option to drive down there soon :D

Mik,
Very nice. Looks great and well finished.
How far is it from the house? Just thinking about remote operation.....better than sitting outside with the mozzies for a couple of hours.
I found fitting a double “seal” board at the ends of the roof helped to stop any overtravel and minimize wind and rain ingress.
Well done!

Looks fantastic and comfortable, and a sound system to boot!
Well done.


Cheers,
Damien.

Cheers Ken,
Only a few meters from the house and the man-cave
But I do like sitting there monitoring the gear and contemplating the universe :screwy: :D

The processing skills of mine is wayyy below of this blog's standard...so apologise :sadeyes:

Polar aligned with PHD, calibrated scope and mount then slew to M42... only 15min/ch. ED80-0.85x-8300mono Moravian with Baader RGB 36mm filters.
Then slewed to Rossetta to get some Ha ... 5min OK , however 20min had a elongated stars. I think will use OAG next time... not good with guide scope 20min subs.
