Hi, after a long hiatus I'm finally having a concrete pier poured with anchor bolts for my vintage Parallax HD mount I bought on Cloudy Nights classifieds. My plan is to use it in non-goto mode for a month or so and get the polar alignment down using the drift method, then to install the Gemini retrofit kit I bought several years ago from Losmandy. Has anyone installed one of these. It doesn't look bad, I just want to know if there are any things I should look out for (limits, etc.) Here's a picture of the mount pier sitting on my deck (which obviously wasn't stable enough).

Thanks! It's so good to get back in astronomy again, had health issues, better now ...
