Looks brilliant,,how is the view from the decking Davy that is the main reason for the deck to improve my 180+ degree view. Elevates line of sight improvement to horizon, better view to the south, slight improvement to the northwest. I have a full view to the east the limitations have helped me name it "WTX 180+ Observatory".

Good stuff Bobby. I notice that your sky is typical for astronomers about to get new gear Cloud!

Looks great, Bobby! Crossing my fingers for you that Wayne gets your pod out soon... I read that they are starting to get some shipped out now.
I bet you have great skies out in West Texas! You're almost so far west, I'd have to take a left turn at Albuquerque!!

It makes for poor seeing but a lot better to work outside on project. When I get it all together, being retired will allow me to adjust seeing time and sleeping time as needed.
