There’s some lovely images on your website there.
Just wondering how you managed to elevate your obs 5’ above the ground & keep it stable? Concrete pier footing maybe?
I’m on a hill so this concept is new and of interest to me to access more sky.
Looking forward to seeing some more northern targets from you
Thanks Andy. I'm always quite jealous of your southern targets that I can't even see from here.

There is an 18" concrete pier under the obs and it is SOLID. The guy who put it in for me said that if I could balance it my whole house would sit on top of it.
