That's my freaky elephant Warren. There's a bit of his dislocated trunk lying on the ground next to the wall.

Elephants can be a sign of good luck ... depending on which way their truck is pointing .... not sure how that works if part of truck is horizontal on the carpet

LOL, it's only on the TOT until the weather clears.
But it does handle the weight very well indeed. It's a great little mount.

Nice acquisition JJJ, it does look just a touch out of place on the TOT.

Ok, here she is, up on the heq5pro with the guide scope next to it.
I'm using one of Geoff Johnstons side by side plates.
Can't wait to take my first image.

A new scope, how exciting. There might be a few sucker holes around Thurday Night looking at SkippySky

I still haven't heard about that webcam, do you want me to send you mine?

No, it's ok Robin. Thanks anyway.
I'll try and get this LPI working with K3 again.
If not I'll align manually.
