The hardest part of making this was drilling a 55mm hole thru the wall for the cables. It only takes a minute to remove the cover bag, install the scope and connect the wires. The mount is on the south-east corner of the garage so it can cover the whole sky except the north-west quadrant. Perfect for solar, lunar and planetary work.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/starrydave.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC04521.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-542\" src=\"http:\/\/starrydave.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC04521-1024x924.jpg\" alt=\"DSC04521\" width=\"695\" height=\"627\" srcset=\"http:\/\/starrydave.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC04521-1024x924.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/starrydave.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC04521-300x271.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 695px) 100vw, 695px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/starrydave.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC04524.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-543\" src=\"http:\/\/starrydave.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC04524-805x1024.jpg\" alt=\"DSC04524\" width=\"695\" height=\"884\" srcset=\"http:\/\/starrydave.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC04524-805x1024.jpg 805w, http:\/\/starrydave.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC04524-236x300.jpg 236w, http:\/\/starrydave.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC04524.jpg 1338w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 695px) 100vw, 695px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here are some pics of my second observatory which is an HEQ5 Pro mounted on a small table outside my garage.
