Hey Ian,
Thanks for the reply.
The balcony is about 3 metres off the ground, with concrete pavers.
Will have to test for vibrations. When I first started astro work I was shooting on top of a wooden deck. This was like being on a trampoline. Every time I went from leaning to sitting up in my chair I'd shake my scope and ruin a sub. I've learnt to sit still while taking subs, hahaha.
Only recently moved houses and balcony seems very stable so far. Will test it out with walking around the scope, as well as inside the house, maybe even jumping!
I checked out Daine042's thread, very clever idea! I kept thinking I need to be able to sit inside the "observatory" but the goal is to weather proof a permanently setup scope .. it's sparked a few ideas, so thank you!
- Daniel
