Reply With QuoteNice paint job, BB. The drawings (not sketches) of the moon craters are impressive, as well. You are a man of many talents.Originally Posted by bizibilder

There has been quite a bit of progress on the observatory in the last few months - But we have had an awful (for the UK) winter so much work was "on hold" until the weather warmed up a bit! As usual details in the Blog in the Sig.

BB; where do you get that Hammerite paint for marking the sky?
If you had picked white paint to match your pier to your mount, your reference mark would have been much easier to see.Meade 16" LightBridge; Celestron G-8N Bird-Jones/motorized EQ5; Orion 127 Mak/go-to EQ5; Burgess 127f8 refractor; Sky-Watcher 5" F/5 collapsible dob; 90mm Mak/motorized EQ2; Royal Astro 76/910-GEM; Meade 60x700 refractor/alt/az; Zhumell 25x100 Coin Ops; GalilleoScope.

The floor has now been installed - I think that is the last major job to do. Now its all "odds and ends" to make life easier when observing.
