... doh!

I don't intend to be in the Observatory when it's taking photos but I assume the motor in the telescope causes vibrations down the 'tripod' and back up it as well then?

If they can be greatly reduced by more cross bracing though, that's no so bad. I was worried if this didn't work, I'd have to dig the whole thing up and go the pier route. But for the price this cost, it's worth a try.

When you knock on the pier or tripod or such, should I be expecting to not see any shaking through the eyepiece?

Thanks!
