That is awesome. Did you have a plan or build it on the fly? That makes me want to build a wooden one and chunk the cheap tripod that came with my telescope.

Hey JC,
I’d love to see the whole setup with binoculars if you’ve got a picture.
Thanks,

Yeah, I’d love to see a big overview shot with binocs mounted too! I’ve got a friend who’s into astronomy, recently bought a new house and is in the process of sinking a pier so that he can have easy alignment. He’s got a bunch of really beautiful machined metal hardware, but your tripod is a lot prettier.

And I don’t think I can quite see from the pictures, what’s your locking mechanism on the leg extension?

Got very busy tonight, please bear with me on the extra photos, I should get to them tomorrow night.

I had no plans, just winged it, and after looking at it, the tripod deserves better hardware :)

I’ll get those pics posted as soon as I can….Thanks for the kind words….

Hi JC

I would be very interested in seeing more pictures, especially of how you are locking your legs.
