DIY Pier, a work in progress

[Newforestgimp]

After getting a little tired of manoeuvring my tripod in and out of the shed I thought I would investigate building a permanent pier, but knowing that it was likely to be frowned upon by she who must be obeyed I thought I’d make it dual purpose.

so I am now a fair way in to the most expensive bird table in the world that by night can be used for astrophotography...

Getting there, secondary brief met 👍

Mount is currently away being tuned but the second hand ‘boss’ has come up a treat !

Dont forget to place a scarecrow somewhere to prevent them actually visit the house and “whiten” the pier.

It’s been a while since last update on pier build as my mount has been away getting the Darkframe treatment, but it gave me time to address & refurb the garden and finish the pier. I’m pleased with how it’s turned out.
