Hey, if it works . . . use it!
Scarey to think how the real observatory is going to look when I build it!!
At the moment I am thinking of the bottom half made from a round water tank and one of those paper-mache domes on top. Still gotta work out how I am going to make it all spin around without blowing off in a strong wind. Oh well, I'll probably invent some weird system out of junk in the shed.
I gotta finish the EQ mount first, then attack the dome problem!!!!
