New Pier in Mini Observatory

[ballaratdragons]

Here it is, folks!!! :)

Notice the black tape over the foot adjuster to prevent cables from hooking on it. Now they just slip up and over it :thumbsup:

The giant hole in the floor is so the pier sits on concrete :)

How do you fit in there? Is it remote control only? Is it a observatory on wheels? Are you amazingly thin?

Looks really good Ken. Is the pier more rigid than the tripod?

Puts a whole new meaning on 'not enough room to swing a CAT' but I think in your case an 8" CAT would be OK.:)

I have a seperate control room :thumbsup: http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/showthread.php?t=26223


So far it is. The first thing I notice is that I don't have to grab a Tripod leg to slide around in there to Polar align any more. One occasion I grabbed a tripod leg to pull myself in and the leg slid down :sadeyes:
Now I can snake around in there without legs in the way :thumbsup:
