I've made some pretty significant changes in my setup recently. I installed a pier from SkyShed Observatories (the Pod People)
and I built an enclosure for the entire system. It's really just an extension of the shed I've always used
as a base of operations. It has a modified roll-off roof and lets me keep things permanently ready to go.
I also recently removed my LX90 OTA from the fork mount, since it's dead, and added a dovetail plate from
ADM accessories to the tube so I can mount it on the EQ mount and image through it. I've decided I'll need an off-axis guider
so that I can avoid the excess weight on top. Otherwise it's nearly impossible to balance things out and it will put too much
torque on the gears for my liking.
