Cobblestones in the grass |
My house on Glacier Way in Monmouth had no access from the garage to the observing spot. This meant that I couldn't use the Mark I portable observatory, and thus could not leave my scope set up in the garage. I had to set up and take down completely each time. To help this process I set three 4" thick, 6" on a side cobbles, in the grass. Now I can have a stable location that's fairly level and aligned. Final polar alignment goes quick.
Of course, Mark III is better...
