Thanks Pedro.
Good to see what I can't do here in S.E.England due to the thick clouds and rain too...

Hi Pedro,

Always nice to see the setup. I thought the 3 coloured HA FDs are good in showing different perspectives of the Sun.

Thanks Brian

I'm planning a small roll-off-roof 2x2m (exterior) to house a paramount ME and several OTAs (10" RCOS, TMB175, APM180, TEC140)

It will be ready this year, I hope. The pier is already bolted to the ground
