Just found out. It's the end of an era. Shocked. RIP Sir Patrick Moore.

Certainly got a move on there Darren. Great build.

A second way to do things is to put the plastic pipe all the way to the bottom of the hole you have dug BUT after making several large holes in the wall of the pipe below ground level - thus when the concrete is poured the concrete can freely flow between the inside and outside of the pipe and will set "holding" the pipe in place.

Hello Rich. How Bizibilder advised above is how i did mine.

I`ve put up a few pics to show how i did it. I hope they are of help to you. I used 160mm HPPE high pressure water pipe for the pier.

1st pic shows all the reinforcing in place.

2nd shows pipe in place with holes drilled at the bottom. Only one is visible in this pic but there were three at the time. I actually put four more in.

3rd shows pipe and bracing.

4th shows finished pier with the template with rods in place lined up north.

i like the m31, however you cropped out m32.

No cropping was done to the images Tadakun. This is the full image that came out. A bit of processing was done in DSS to get the final images. A reducer is needed for the 200 methinks:).

Hello all.

I just posted these, my first long exposures taken last August, in a new thread so i thought i would post them in this thread as well.

We all start somewhere .

Hello all.

I used Harrison Telescopes for the first time yesterday. I ordered a 12v power supply for my mount. Ordered at 3pm and it arrived this morning at 8am. Very impressed.

It`s been put on hold temporarily by the moderators. See here
