New pier installed

[mallorcasaint]

I have completed the installation of the pier in my garden. It is linked by underground 12v, 5v, focuser and USB over Cat6 cables to my brick built observatory shed that houses all the psu's, computers and controls. It can be operated by wifi through the Starsense and Starry Night Pro from anywhere on the planet! Now all I need is clear skies!

Nice job.  That's the easy bit done, the clear skies are a bit harder.

Looks excellent, AstroExeter. How much of the kit will be left outside: just the mount or the whole lot? I think I can see a cover in the gazeebo.

Yes I have a cover for the pier but if is going to be unused for any length of time I will just lift off the dual plate with the scopes on it and put them in the obsy shed.

Ha ha! I hadn't finished doing the cables when I took the pictures. They are better now.
