observatory project

hi guys and gals

This is my new ob project i have put down the decking ready for my new skyshed pod that has been ordered from altair astro 

ian tells me  today that the skyshed is on its way from the states 

the pier is out of my old ob i  made it a few years ago out of some 8 inch steel pipe that got out of  a skip at work  i welded some steel plates on each end drilled the holes  for my  old 10inch lx 200 now long gone so i machined an adapter plate and adapted the pier for my eq6 pro 

thanks for looking
