Dobsonian stand
lak of photoMike,
In your sketch of your observatory I see the base for your dob is shown as rectangular.
Might I suggest as follows
:-cut the top out of a 44 gallon drum and then cut on third of the drum (top removed third
:- dig a circular trench, say 4 inches deep to receive the cut end of the drum
:-pack the trench to locate the drum so that the top is level
:- fill the drum nearly to the top with stones
:-top with cement and screed it to the drum rim
This size neatly fits Skywatcher dobs.
The photo just shows our drum in place
Chris
Bother the photo was too large
