Update with potential changes
Hi All,
I have not interatted much as it get busy after a semester or two of studies I am so busy with many project but mostly re-building my workshop.
I have made a temporary update to my rental property observatory and it is not coming together with some light on the end of the tunnel.
As I do not have enough money to play with i have used some item that are temporary but seem to be quite strong.
In this update I have used the original EQ5 tripod base plate intead of getting a built unit, This will change in the future. If anyone has some open source plans available to build one it would be appreciated.
Anyway the photos show the build so farand the mount installed, I have installed in every nook and cranny (with silicon to follow) to seal up and moisture points that could get into the system.
The changes that i epect to make is the cover for the scope. I noticed that with the base as it is there is still plenty of room. This means that I could forget the table top shown in the picture shown in the original post. I am still undecided. By not placing the table top I expect to save an enormous amount on the final construction but may restrict my ability to place solar panel on the roof. I need to weigh up the pros and con's with a potential wind generator off to the side near the shed.
I want to make this system self substantable with the potential for installing in a remote location if it works out.
Cheers all until the next changes
