So, I’ve been using my HEQ5 on its tripod for AP with just my DSLR and Ekos for a couple of years now. I got fed up with it taking up so much space in the middle of the garden with full tripod which was overkill for this 🤣. I have a nice corner with great E to SE view but it has no room for the tripod. I was thinking of a small todmorden pier, but then realised I could detach the tripod legs at the top. 3 40mm waste access plugs act as feet/adjusters. Super stable but added .5 kilo ankle weights to each leg for extra stability. Gonna use an upside down bin as cover and good to go. Just need a clear night now to try out 🤞😊
