First mod - GSO 10 inch dob

Well I've enjoyed this scope and being my forst DOB i was surprised by how much I had to crane over to see anything even at it's highest point. My back is semi shot and a nights session was killing me the next day.

So I made a box 440 mm exactly in height for the DOB to sit on. Testing it and it is perfect for my height. Viewing Saturn Saturday night very high in the sky I was standing upright at the eye piece, so comfy Through all it's height range it is immeasurably better on my back.

Box made up:

No added vibration or anything. Very happy!
