Hi everyone, just a quick question.
I am in the process of piecing together materials for an observatory.
It will be a roll-off conversion of my garage when finished.
I have been able to get my hands on a length of steel tube (for free
)
It is 175mm in diameter, with a wall thickness of 8mm.
My first question, is this big enough to take a fully loaded eq6 pro for astro-photography and second, what is a good height for the pier ,not including the mount/scope etc?
any help here would be very welcome.
cheers...........
Tony.....
