+Graham Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Managed to get a bit more done to the scope. Made up a couple of plates on the water jet. One takes the adjustable mount that carries the 5 inch frac that will be used as a finder scope. The other takes my box of tricks with all the power points , usb sockets and the dew heater control I made for the NEQ6 with the Losmonday dovetail clamp. This will be used for the solar scope ( fitted in photo ) and the GT 81 should I ever need to use it. All the timber for the obs should arrive tomorrow so I have a hectic weekend ahead.
