Envious!! Looks very nice..

My question, which is largely a follow on from the question Dennis posed, So, you tighten the head to the adapter plate, then fit the adapter plate + head to the pier. Do you think this will make azimuth adjustment difficult? The head will have to be bolted down fairly tight, then the little az adjustment knobs are going to be pretty hard to turn. That said, judging by the top of the pier, you can rotate the adapter plate+head on the pier also... get the rough adjustment done via the pier plate, and then just make the final, small tweaks through the az adjustment knobs.

Cheers..
Alex.

Oh, ps... How much does it weigh roughly (total package) postage would no doubt be very expensive depending on how you went about it..
