Hi all just posting this photo up so anyone interested can see the size of the scope I am about to build a pier for.

That looks like one of those trick photos where someone holds the Eifel Tower in their hand. It can't be that big. Especially in a field!

And surely the health and safety brigade would stop you working up a ladder...

No way he put that up on the mount himself, but I can understand why he can't stop smiling!!

Actually there's an interesting technique for getting scopes that size up on the mount single handedly - even I could do it lol :)

Congratulations and lets hope Astrotec Ltd secures many more similar projects.

I know, the scope is actually 20 foot closer to the camera!
