Thank you Paul!

Thank you! And you can thank Epidemic Sound for these tracks as they are licensed for UA-cam!

Hi Thomas, glad you enjoyed the video ... For my design I decided to use a fabricated design from Tiger Sheds as I knew their structure (detached gable) seperated the roof from the side panels (meaning I wouldn't have to cut into the roof to seperate it onto the runners for my needs) When assembling I created a frame for the roof to support the V wheels rmoving along the metal runners

But fundamentally, yes (to not have to build a shed myself from scratch) , I did construct the panel parts you get from the standard Tiger Shed 6x8

Thank you Dan - much appreciated!

Thank you - much appreciated! It certainly makes a difference with the wide field ca. long focal length, hopefully some clear sky opportunities soon

Thank you Joe, much appreciated - I decided to just go with the tripod mount as I didn’t have to cut out for another pier but the skywatcher extension certainly helped raise the mount level … with the smaller Z61 it also made the distance between mounts more feasible

Thank you John - glad you liked the sequence!

Thanks Glenn - though all thanks to the great videos and work from both yourself and Joe. Such a great addition to the automation!

@@astro_vino it really is. I love it and adds so much ease to doing Astro. Clear skies

It was a fun small project - very useful when controlling the observatory remotely. I am also considering adding another camera to join the UK meteor network (as that will probably be a fixed direction camera)

Thank you, I know it should be facing upwards - this is what I mention in the video. On this occasion with the angle of the OTA it made no difference to the installation and works perfectly well

Yes very pleased it is all now working perfectly, thanks again Joe for the videos and support to do this!

Thank you Joe! ... very much enjoying this short focal length rig, it really opens up different options

Thank you, I hope you enjoyed! ... No I haven't tried without the dew shield as I tend to use this as a light shade from a lot fo the surrounding building external illuminations

Absolutely, seeing what can appear on the screen after a few minutes is amazing! 🙂

Thank you! 🤗

Thank you Luke much appreciated, it has certainly been a game changer in terms of setup / quicker opportunities (even when clouds come over for an hour and you can quickly open again) - hope your own adventure goes well!

@@astro_vino I came across this video while looking for someone that installed a pulsar pier, wow you only used 100mm of the bolting rods? Im at the point of draft proofing the roof and bolting down the pier today.. nice job you did and got a few pointers from your video.. and who is this Luke guy in the comment above, I see him everywhere.. (even in my wild camp dreams).

Thank you Peter - good luck with your installation and hope you find it works well for you!

It was a combination of the dovetail plates top and bottom on the OTA, coupled with finding the strap worked sufficently well just around the end ring of the OTA / on the dew shield (it also helped to keep the dew shield more firmly secured) There was an interesting assessment done by James Lamb on the position / use of a Dew Strap and Dew Shield with an SCT I recommedn checking out

Thank you! and ha yes, Todd has a great channel and content!

Thank you Joe, much appreciated - always wondering if I am doing it right with a first tutorial but very much enjoy your videos! … Yeah the dew ring surprised me with the design and being in the UK humidity is always fun but hope it works for you if eventually down that route!

Thanks for the feedback - I will look at makaing an updated video with more comprehensive information! 🙂

Thank you Robert - much appreciated!

Thank you Robert, glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks Glenn - I actually had even worse tracking last night but on checking the mount this morning it appears the DEC axis has started to tighten up (RA is still perfectly fine). So I am going to unmount the scope and take a look again at the Dec - I am also going to weight distribute the scope / mount so a shift back to trying an OAG again Vs. mounted guide scope ... Now that I have the Starizona SCT IV I am getting minimal aberration to the side of the screen so feel there is more chance of the OAG now working

@@astro_vino i am hopefully reviewing a tool to help with slight binding issues and get mounts set up perfectly soon.

@@Astrobloke Oh, I will certainly be interested to hear further if useful and this is certainly a pain for many of us! :)

Curious if you got any further with that review Glenn - I found tweaking a nee EQ6-R Pro was “fun” but something to help with these mounts would certainly be a benefit!

Thank you Rick - much appreciated and glad you enjoyed the video ... stay tuned as I will have a 2022 update coming in the next few weeks with a few changes / additions

Thanks for the feedback Joe! ... Absolutely, I do find that using a variety of tools opens up more options and can certainly enhance the final outcome

Thank you Joe - very much appreciated and glad you like it! … Exploring different videos and see such great content out there! 🙂

Thank you!

Thank you - much appreciated!!! I am starting to enjoy these video compilations

Thank you! Good luck with your future project - I certainly have enjoyed doing this more than I thought I would
