When the concrete was setting I believe was the time to separate the concrete from the pole that will hold your telescope's mount, so vibrations will not affect the telescope, but I may be wrong. Great video and inspired to try on my own with my resources.
Great project, Tom! Guess this is not planned for automation, manual roll-off? My observatory, 100 miles away had to be motorized and automated. Quite a challenge, but doable. Good luck with your observatory! Ian
Oh no it will be fully automated over time but I need to chalk up some hours with it first before I start automating. Will use a gate motor to move shed and door openers for the doors, linear actuators to lock it down. Just need to work out how to open the lift plate
@@TheMje1963 Don't try to build it in high winds and make sure you have 1-2 additional people to help. I have build a 3D Model ON fusion 360 of the shed and the base if you want a copy of the model. It is useful for planning things.
Nice job. Just what I was looking for.

I hope Tim is okay after welding without a mask? Great little setup you have there.... nicely done!
Well done!

see my new video for ruclips.net/video/T33L7UL8pMQ/видео.html for automated version
Hello my friend 🥰
Where did you get the shed from? / find?
Parlam canopia she’d, think you can get them at lots of places like B&Q made in Canada 🇨🇦
@@Wistowtbone Thanks, did a search and can get them local here in Arizona.
