Has anyone tried converting the "cheap" trailers they sell at Home Depot into a mobile observatory? I envision a "hanging" pier that would, in motorized fashion, descend through a hole cut out in the floor to keep the scope/pier firmly planted on the ground, making vibrations from the trailer inconsequential to exposures. I saw a "Rube Goldberg" version of this many years ago in the Poconos and it worked well before concepts like "track and accumulate" replaced "hypered emulsions."
I recently bought an HGM-200 mount for my C-14 and am looking for a "rig" that will suffice. Anyone ever try these sub-one-grand trailers with any luck? Got designs? J.G.
