I see the inspection department has had a look ? Lovely doggie.

Ok so looking at the instructions, I need to cut those 10mm bars and then put a bend in them. Any tips? I can't say thats something I have ever attempted before ?

Have just ordered 2x blocks from Travis Perkins to pick up tomorrow. Never knew there was a branch near my office

Got myself a DeWalt. It's nothing too special but hopefully it will do the job! Will have a look for a masonry bit

Thanks James! I've got a few of my dad's masonry drill bits (he was a builder, retired now) . Though I just have a normal hammer drill....I might have to go begging for his sds drill too ? but cheers for all that info very helpful!

So I've thought about this for a while now and I'm finally going to start building a pier (of some sort). I found @MattGoo's fab guide and so I think I will be following that.
Once done I'll probably add a gabien cage and some fancy rocks to make it look a bit snazzy ?
Made a start getting some stuff today, got postcrete also. Just need to find some breeze blocks now! Have tried Wickes and Selco...neither had the hollow ones in. Will try EH Smith over the next few days

Yes got the 18mm. I love mine, it's fantastic and contrary to the sky at night review.... Flat as a pancake

Good to know I got it right then!! ?
Wow! I only went for a 5m which is powered from my laptop so I’m hoping it will all be ok - haven’t tried it yet!
My garden is quite long will give my 5m version a go

This is exactly how I run my setup how long is your active usb cable? Mine is 20m and comes with a seperate power supply. Bit terrified to plug it in to be honest. I'm not sure I want to blow my nice camera up

Nice first images @StaceStar. Now just repeat a few dozen times, stack, and you're good. Welcome to the dark side.
Thank you yes going to truly get to grips with my scope and the controls, alignment etc. Then going to move onto stacking and post processing

Here are my first efforts. Literally the first time I set up my scope and pointed it upwards! The seeing conditions were bad (snow, ice, fast moving cloud etc). These are both single exposures (bodes nebula and cigar at 60s and the double cluster at 90s) unguided. Taken with a SW Evostar 80ED, Canon 1100D and SW Eq5 pro.
