I've decided to go with Leon and intend to use a tripod for the next year or so. By then I should know how well it works and if needed I can dig a hole for a conventional cement block pier base later. It's interesting to note that I was at one stage thinking about making the pier by welding up six pieces of steel to form a hexagonal mini pyramid pier which when you think about it, it's a mini tripod. It would have been easier to make in my back yard than to source a large steel pipe or make a concrete pylon. Now I got to think about how to cover the mount and scope so it can be permanently left mounted.
I'm tending toward a colour bond shed arrangement as those kit observatories are quite pricey. More thinking needed.
Cheers
Stephen
