Arborvitae is the type of evergreen I'm going to use, if you google it you'll see an image. They're nice and dense, can be bought at the right height (about 6') and when planted about 2' apart, give a

Hi Rick, I have been searching the web for a "telescope-only pier housing" for a couple of years, and this was only one of two that I have been able to find. If you can locate any other links

I have three brand new scope covers I will offer to the first that want them, these are more of what I had made last year. they are 144" x 70" (open on the 70" side) and are made of SCRIM

Hi Morgan, Be carefule with that. Many times "unheated buildings" are much warmer than outdoor ambient and also differ in humidity. My garage will lbe at least 20 degrees warmer than outside on a

Hi Joe, Thanks. That is similar, but the design that I was describing only covers the mount and is much smaller...just big enough to surround the mount. Thanks, Rick wrote: pics and wish

Hello Bruce, There is no right or wrong way to run the cables inside the Mach1GTO. Do whatever works best for you with your equipment and situation. I have rather large hands and fat fingers, so

Sounds great, What kind of hedge are you selecting - that will not harbour mosquitoes, etc.? Do cedar trees discourage mosquitoes? Joe

That's a great idea, Stuart. I am going to start a similar spreadsheet. I have to provide sales invoices to put items on the policy but I need to keep up with changing values. Bill BTW, if I buy

I had thought about this. But since I also need to screen the local house and street lights, I'm thinking about a "secret garden" - a space enclosed by a hedge of 6' tall arborvitae, accessed by a

As I posted earlier, I also have State Farm but have a Personal Articles policy that includes not only the astronomy equipment but other high value items. I wonder if they are putting yours under

Hi Mark, I like the suggestion about removing the electronics to a garage or unheated building - I could do that easily. Thanks for all the tips... Morgan

I have State Farm and they cover my equipment as a Personal Articles policy. We also have auto and homeowners with them. Don't know if they would cover the equipment if I did not have the other

1. When running cables through the mount, is that any reason to remove the polar scope adapter rather than feeding the cables through the polar scope hole? 2. The manual recommends feeding the
