What a glorious night!
Not much breeze, not too cold...
I am in my POD on my first night of real use.
Just finished drift aligning. I'll fine tune that later with K3ccdtools
. I'm very happy with the markout and forming of the slab and pier footing... The slab and footing bolts for the pier were aligned with true north/south by compass. Just to be on the safe side I drilled extra tapped holes for the azimuth stop in my pier adapter plate... but I don't need them!
The azimuth adjustment screws are <3mm off centreline.
I have already decided that the bracket for my hand control needs a mod. It positions the hand control well for sitting in low positions, but is hard to read the control if standing. I'll also make it a litle more compact too.
BTW M42 is looking as spectacular as ever! Seems a shame to have to go to bed just to go to work in the morning...
