Nice!

Wish mine would set itself up on it's own like that.. is there an Ascom driver for the trolley

[laser_jock99]

The trolley looks a tad unstable IMO. Unless that pier is seriously heavy sooner or later that guy's going to end up wrecking both scopes!

Seen that before - that guys got 3 or 4 different setups with varying degrees of tech at his several houses spread around France iirc. All very impressive - keep filling the lottery tickets lol

That sure is some impressive gear!!

Crikey! Talk about top-heavy.

By the look of it, if one of those little wheels hit a stone or ran over the cat, the whole lot would come crashing down. Even getting bogged down on a soft patch of lawn, after rain, could leave you with your whole mount/scope smashed on the ground.

From what brantuk said he may not worry too much if that happens...

we can but dream...

Very nice, but as he doesn't seem to be short of a few bob you'd think he'd build a permanent obsy.

Maybe he just wants everyone to be able to see his stuff!

I take it those pigeons on the left are not real?

A bit like the rabbit then.....

There's a lot of trust in the wooden wheely thing for a top heavy load like that. Cracking gear and a good idea though.

[Leo.A]

I wouldn't trust that cart, I'd want something more substantial in regards to constructive strength and would certainly want better wheels than castors.

Wouldn't there be variations in accuracy when setting up?

The smallest bit of debris on the pad would cause problems.

Now to the important stuff, How does one get their wife to go invisible and still do the work setting up the gear??
