Thumbs up Astronomy Jigsaw Puzzle - COMPLETED!

My boys & I spent the day today at Berts (Avandonk) whilst the finishing touches were completed for the drive on my EQ mount. Man O Man it is a complicated set-up just to get a motor to turn at the right speed!!!

I brought everything home and now the assembly begins

It is just like a 3D jigsaw puzzle

Again I would like to thank Bert for all the work he has put into this mount and for his generosity, and his burning desire to see it completed and used. And thanks for your hospitality to me & my kids again! We always feel welcome at your place.

Here are the parts for the Drive (photo not including all the nuts, bolts, tension-springs etc)

Wish me luck as I pull out any hair I have left
And especially when I complete the assembly and turn on the program in the Laptop and click on 'START'.
