Thankyou John, I spent weeks designing it based on lots of information off the web, the dome itself took 2 months to build. I planned on two weeks..
LOL
Such is life...
Appreciated..

Thankyou Gary.
The timing was good, the obs was near finished by the time I had worked how to drive the scope. Im very happy with the performance of the gear, It didnt work out entirely as planned, but its close enough, for a pedantic fuss pot...
Cheers
Shawn

Great stuff Shawn! Stunning effort!
I hope that theres going to be an OPENING BBQ to go with that!
So you're an hour or so inland from Cairns? Talk about a BOX SEAT to the 2012 Total Solar Eclipse!
Great Vid!
