Hi All,

Just joined and hope to advance my limited knowledge of astrophotography here.

Located in County Kilkenny, I use a ES Comet Hunter on a CEM70G with a ZWO 533MM attached.

The mount is sited on a permanent pier (section of ex telephone pole)

See attached.

Regards,

Pat

Nice set up, Pat

Welcome to SGL. I remember those poles when I was growing up (Wexford). I presume they are hardwood. As I'm sure you know wood is less popular than piers for mountings - I presume this is because of the possibility of movement - but what you have there looks like a tank.

Thanks Guys,

The pole is pressure treated cresol which will probably outlast me! 😑
