I'm concerned how the telescope holds up in the Sky Pod !

Remember I'm in Oberon so maximum temps are probably a little down on everyone else anyway. I haven't looked at the POD site for a while now, but they did have a thermal cover, which might be worth considering.

Can I ask how you attached your Pod to your concrete slab? Dynabolts?

Yep. 2 dynabolts per wall/POD bay section.

I was thinking of a 150 mm slab and a pier to the slab I'm not into imaging .
I just Bino View but my eyes are not so good so in the future I may have to go Electronic assisted Astronomy. For what I'm doing I can't see that being a problem?

Probably not. Mines on a 100 thick slab, but as I said it's isolated from the pier footing so the slab's just got to support the POD.

If I lived closer I would love to see your Sky Pod, I have seen the pics looks good. I can't drive anymore to check out anyone's pods so I have to rely on what I can see on the net.
Again thanks for your reply.
