Nice work anyway.

One thing that concerns me with your pier though Dave. What happens when the ground finally dries out? How much shrinkage will occur? Will it make the pier unstable??
i intend on using well over 1cubic metre in the base of the pier 32MPA concrete thinning to the pier mount point, so i am hoping that a 1x1m base will be sufficient, the pier is adjustable at the head - you saw the prototype at astrofest last year JJJ. as for the cloud it was streaming through some shots - you can see the effect in the image
