Finally, Pier is almost ready. 20110118

I finally did it.

Pier is bolted on to the floor (though these pictures show it before I did it), and G11 is placed on top of it. Now all it needs is a perfect polar alignment. I am working on it now.
Still a few things to work out, but it is going quite smoothly. =:-D

Rupes Recta 20110113

First light with C14.
Low transparency and unsteady skies....
Can't tell if out of focus or decollimated scope!
Hopefully this will be the last shot before my pier is ready :-)
