Astro DIY

[BinaryBill]

Hi All,
I am new here so g'day to you. Keen to make a first post, I thought I would start with my recent little astrophotography projects. I have a few projects on the go, a slide-off roof backyard observatory, rain sensor alert/ alarm for my observatory, observatory mount, 3D printed improvements for my Esprit 80 i.e. better grip for the locking ring, slip on dew cap, vixen mounts for a Pocket Power Box. Below are some images of the works in progress, if anyone is interested in any of these, I would be more than happy to share more information. I would also be keen to see what others have created too!
Cheers - Bill.

Cheers Leon. I would not have discovered astrophotography if not for lock-down, the extra couple hours a day, saved from commuting to work allowed time for other things, a very common story I believe.
