Picked up the pier today. Hmm I think the computer tray got lost in translation. I am sure I said 350 from center. Oh well no drama. I will need to put some rubber on those edges though. Might collect a shin or two.
So I will be installing the pier and finalising wiring this weekend. Maybe even get the mount in perhaps too.
I am waiting on an adapter from the Atlas to the STXL. GSO seem to think their back focus from the rear of the scope is 281.34mm. Unfortunately this is not correct. I had an adapter made to suit so that the focusor was in the mid position, the focusor had to be racked right out (on the Atlas it is only 10mm) it did not come to focus. I read 290mm to focus. I even checked using matches to pack out the adapters on the Atlas and rotator to take an image that was in focus. So it will be another 3 weeks yet before I can set up the system. Though there is still a trench to be dug for permanent power.
