Default How to decouple scope form ground vibrations ?

The only thing that you can do if you persist in living around where such
vibrations are common is to make a huge weight and put it on springs so that
the high frequencies are damped. There will always be low frequency
vibrations but if you get the frequency into the cycles per minute, you ca
autoguide them away.
Also, you don't want to walk on this suspension system or your weight will
affect the pointing accuracy.
