Cheers Alex, I've also made up a laminated base plate for the EQ6 to mount to the sewer pipe pier. 45 mm thick with about 19 layers, glued and screwed. Just need some large diameter screwed rod and lots of nuts/washers to attach it as a levelling plate. Even found an adjustable foot from a copier with the correct thread for the EQ6 base. Throw nothing away is my motto !!
And I've had a bit of a brainstorm about the rotating UTA/focusser idea after getting a mental block for a day or two. Sometimes you just have to stop thinking and let it come by itself.
It's all coming together.
