Not something I would do on regular basis, but I was able to get the RA/Dec. housing up on the tripod by myself. (Hoping to transport to WSP). Just finished assembling. Since it has no polar scope, tonight tried learning some drift align techniques(thus the small Tak 60C). Joe

Nice setup, but I am afraid the mount is a bit overloaded....

Joseph,

A very nice rig. The portable pier looks very fitting for the mount.

The 60 is enough to align it and I would like to see what you have on top of it for day to day use.

I am still waiting for word from Roland on my portable mount (MACH 1) but it is not in the same league as yours.
