I have to say that it all looks rather sensational Peter. Your convex circular pad and general area look fantastic to say the least. Well done. I'm rather green...

thanks guys al your pod looks great thanks for the site to make the photos smaller to post
i forgot to mention that the pod is on the timber deck which is on our under ground water tank there is no movement in the concrete and concrete pier but the deck is about 5mm from the pier to allow for vibrations and expansion plus the concrete tank was there why not use it

Great work Peter! I saw these just a few minutes ago on the DarkskyAU gallery, and was very impressed..

Just one question.. "Where's the mount/scopes etc??"
