Got a new mount!

My father found a site recently called Sidewalk Astronomers, and got inspired by the mounts they use for their telescopes. I think he was a bit sad that he couldn't really help me use my telescope so he made me a new (wooden) mount! It doesn't wobble at all, and can be used on a tabletop or on the ground and still be comfortable to use.

With this mount I've already counted the bolts holding the street lights together on the opposite side of the road!!

Can't make my pictures show, which is odd, they show in the preview!!
