Beautiful image Trevor and so lucky you've had 4 good nights to collect the data.
I wish I could get my alignment right so I could get 4 minute subs (3 minute would impress me) but that's never going to happen till I get my pier in. We've had so much rain and miserable weather I haven't wanted to order the aggregate and cement.
It's just not the same plonking a mount down and hoping it's close in the back yard. Worse is where I had pavers to level my mount and rough alignment marks I now have a big pit dug so I can't currently use the spot.
One day (or I'll just drop dead and it won't matter, lol).
