@Larstronomy @Ganymedes_NL What did you use to make your pier? Is it just concrete filled spiral duct? Looks good in black.

Mount is back after repairs by @Ganymedes_NL, also took some extra time today to tidy up my cable management

Any fellow astrophotographers in the Herefordshire, UK, area? #Astrophotography
