Buford7 Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 @PeterStudzYes makes sense! I have been reading up since I posted and that was what I was imagining it needed to look like. Very helpful—Thank you for confirming. Now to just wait for the parts to arrive. Cheers! Graeme 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buford7 Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 (edited) Well—here are some pics of the finished product from this month’s build! I’m very happy with how it’s turned out. Many thanks to the great information, instructions and modification ideas on this thread. I’ve added a removable jig for a green laser pointer that can stay in place temporarily via magnets so I can more accurately polar align the platform to Polaris through the polar axis of the mount (54° angle for my latitude). Everything seems to be working in theory. Now waiting to get some clear skies to try it all out for real! 😊 Edited May 31 by Buford7 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve found mine so useful that if it broke I’d have to make another one. Looks like you are doing similar to the way I went about making mine - sort of make a kit of parts and then assemble it towards the end. Once you get to that stage I found it quick to out together.
