Permanent site for EQ6... sort of.
Last Sunday I found something interesting in Bunnigs... adjustable plastic pads for flower pots. It occurred to me immediately that this could be used to mark the place for tripod legs tips. Only central part was useful for my purpose.
There were couple of colors available but I wanted white, for better visibility in the dark
Now I just have to drop the legs of my pre-aligned mount into those holes in plastic, and the mount is sufficiently accurately polar-aligned for short exposures (couple of minutes without tracking) with my 600mm lens..
