Well the guy who said he would give me 2 mtrs of 250 mm pvc pipe came thru ... so I am going to put in three more piers for the EQ5 MOUNT now that my assistant knows the ropes it should go real fast...plus I went to the tip and found some really good steel to do a proper job on the double drum set up...made huge mistake last night..I forgot to relocate the cable hook as I was concentrating on the jury rid set up with the winch that I am working on..the motor seemed to die so I thought flat battery..just a little more ..ever inch counted on opening..I did not realise the roof could not go further and .then the loudest bang I have ever heard comparable to a shotgun blast..terrifying I had no idea if I was being assasinated...it was the pulley disintegrating ...and fortunately no shrapnel hit me or any of the scopes...but the cable buried in the rest of the cable and was stuck fast..it took me ages with a screw driver and hammer to free it...anyways after I got it open enough to have a go at NGC 300...And went thru until 4 am ...ALL GOOD
