Tie down solutions for roll off roof?

Posted By Paul Webb

Anjal, I used modified 3" wide rachet tie downs (like the ones used to tie down a boat on a trailer) and large eyebolts. You may have to cut the tie downs to the required lenghts then sew them back together. I had a person with an industrial sewing machine sew the cut pieces together. Hope this helps. Good luck! I can send you pix. Paul

A few years ago I bought some 1/4" medium density white foam that I used to line my refractor box. Due to a computer crash, the information was lost as to suppliers. Also, with that purchase I obtained some 2" thick foam for EP cases. Can anyone lead me to a source of said foam?

Environmental Control

Unplug everything from your mount and other electronics. Some of my fellow observatory members have been hit by indirect strikes and caused damage to the electronics in their mount controllers. I leave no dangling wires from my set-up. Paul
