All looks ok so far in that everything that is supposed to move does and everything that should not move does not.
For those interested in following the construction of the new home for the EQ8, a link to the observatory page on my Pbase site is here:

That's fantastic. It certainly looks the goods. How much for the making of the adapter plate? To use on my pier I would need it to be square
as I have 4 bolts on my obseratory pier. Always wondered how eqmod would work in the observatory ? Like the rest of the pics on the site as well. Nice place for an observatory
