http://www.nu-ware.com/ThisAndThat Jo I'm thinking of something on similar lines - to roll away from a pier mounted scope. I reckon I'll need to anchor it very securely or the wind will blow it against the scope but would be well chuffed indeed if it looked as nice as yours. -- Martin Frey http://www.hadastro.org.uk N 51 02 E 0 47 |

Hi, nice scope thing, mine is similar, but green, and on wheels, I will post
some pics when its more finnished, youve done a good job there. do you intend to be out with your scope whilst in use? or line it up, and rush in the warm and look at the images on your monitor with a beer etc? that was my plan :-) Simon "Jo" wrote in message ...

Glad you like the Box. I've already had first light through the setup. LXD55 SN-10, Toucam Pro 2 (SC3) via long USB, home brew remote focusser, Autostar via long cable. Just a few moon shots and the local treetops so far. My sessions have been 90% setting up and tearing down with a bit of observing in the middle, Hence the Box and, hopefully, a semi permanent scope setup. This is a stopgap until I get time/motivation/cash for something grander. Jo |

sounds like we have similar setups in mind, I have a time money space
problem for a bigger project as well so this is a good compromise for me Simon "Jo" wrote in message ...
