Like others, I have watched your video of building your pier and I subscribed to your TH-cam channel. Very interesting video again Cliff, thanks for sharing.
I just watched your video where you built a concrete pier and immediately went to your youtube page to see more videos. They are well made and very informative and I thank you for that. I hope you continue to make more videos as you are a natural.
I absolutely loved this! I just built my pier yesterday. The concrete will have to cure a week or so but I am seriously jazzed up about getting to use and building an observatory around it in due course.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video and congratulations on your pier. It really is nice to be able to set up for astro relatively quickly. I have drawn up some plans for building an observatory around mine too, but so far other priorities have kept me from starting that phase of the project. Post a link to your setup if you like.
Great videos and I love your do it yourself ethos! What method or software were you using for your polar alignment? I didn't recognise the graphics on the screen.
Thanks for the comment and sorry for the late reply. The software I use for polar alignment is the iPolar software that comes with the iOptron SkyGuider Pro. Search for "IPOLAR" at ioptron.com and find the version that's right for your ipolar camera. I don't think it works for other hardware.

Hi Randy! What a nice comment -- thank you. I have fun making the videos and hope to keep them coming.

Nice video. It's pretty impressive what one can do with good, basic equipment and a dark sky.
Yes. Some people don't even try because they haven't got the latest greatest of everything. You can have a lot of fun without breaking the bank.
Interesting video's and really very well made 👍👍
Thank you
