Todmorden Pier.....Texas Style

[CCD-Freak]

The mount is placed high enough to see over the walls down to about 20 degrees but low enough to have the wind blocked.  The 10"RC is normally not used in my 6x10x6H SkyBox but I was testing things before our trip to New Mexico at the end of April.   I usually use the 6x10x6H box for smaller imaging setups like my 150mm F2.8 Hyper Newt, 8" F3.8 Newt and smaller refractors.    The pier I will be putting in my 8x12x6H SkyBox will be a bit shorter to better shield larger scopes like my 10" RC and the 12" F4 Newt I picked up recently.   Another reason I made the pier tall is I do some visual observing at times.
