I can get the Helix from here :-)

I always thought the Helix was out of reach but the electronic finder showed I could just about get it. Yeah, it's really low down but still available. Wish I;d found out a couple of hours ago because now it's gone behind a house :-(  Anyway, I did manage to get just 1 (one) 15min sub before it disappeared..

edit: View from the finder (scope is on it's side looking due South), definitely a rooftop-scraper this one LOL!

Great stuff.. look forward to seeing the results. I always wanted to have a crack at it, somehow I don't think even cutting the grass will help ;)

LOL! I'm asking passers by to kindly duck as they walk past my house...

I just tried to slew to it and the mount refused. Puzzled (I thought something was broke) I discovered it is just below the hoizon :-) Damn mount is too smart for it's own good.
