    I'd love to make one of these. However, based on my feeble attempts to even get a simple dob mount square, I think it is beyond me with my current tools and experience. Looks good though.

      Indeed it does. I did some OU stuff a few years back. Was so nice to be able to do more or less when I wanted.

  8. gooseholla

    Hopefully seeing will be stabler than last night.
