wow
Awesome.
Hi Marc
The equipment is very seldom in the house. Mostly it lives in my mini-van (It's kind of like a rolling garage) LOL! I only bring it in if I need to carry more than 2 people in the van. I seperate it into 3 main parts, scope/scopes, tripod and equatorial head. The head and tripod each weigh approx 35lbs. I can usually have it pulled out, set-up and polar alligned in about 15mins.
Mark, how is it w/moving it in and out of the house (weight wise), separate or 1 piece?
Hi Conor, No Gemini on this one (plan on adding it hopefully in the near future). I love the mount and believe them to be one of the best values for your dollar. I also personally know 6 others in my local group that own them (all except for one have Gemini 1 or 2) and one has both a G-11 and a GM-8. They all love them
How do you like the G-11? I'm thinking about picking one up. Is that the Gemini 1 or 2 system?
yeh it works well. Keeps the light in and as a bonus keeps the dew and frost off. Did not cost much to do either
Hey Mark, I like your laptop cover neat little trick to keep the light from the screen from bothering others , I need to make me one like that
