Hi Tommy

What a fantastic, self-contained, manual guiding unit – great job. It might be worth fitting some 3mm closed cell foam to the floor of the main box, to provide a little shock protection for the more sensitive equipment such as cameras and eyepieces.

Cheers

Hi Tommy,

What a brilliant concept. As someone who has never done any astro photography, looks like a great way to start with wide field images.

Cheers,
