Hi Amy, a mod suggestion for your hubby to work on. Take 3 more plates, just drill the holes for the 1/2" rod, get 6 hitch pins and pan washers, drill the holes in the rod for the hitch pins above and below the foot plate to hold the plate in place. Take the existing plates with the 1/2" nuts and mount them underneath the carriage. This will hold the feet in place so your adjustment is made using the knobs without the extra work. Clear Skies

Nice video, Amy. That is a great mod to the Wheeley bar. Those sunrise shots are just awesome.

Great idea. Why not drill two holes in the pieces of channel and drive a couple of 6 inch nails into the ground so they don’t move and next time you wheel it out the polar alignment will already be done. I did something similar with the Wheeley I use on our patio and it was very accurate.

I may be in the dog house if I drill a hole in the driveway. All other pavement areas have no view. Drilling holes would be easier than welding.

to: @AmyAstro. It's not really a hole - it's just a marker so the bolt or knob doesn't jump when you run it down into the cement. Maybe a 1/2" will do - can't trip on those - in fact you should paint them so you can find them. We did that at the Maunakea Visitor Information Station for quick setup of our large SCT scopes - 11" to 16".

That is amazing, Amy! So no vibrations running up to the mount, huh? Interesting. I will give this a go and perhaps feature on my channel with a shoutout to ya! Hope I’m as successful as you were :)

Great video, plates look suspiciously like a chopped up vixen dovetail bar! (do you have one missing?) ;) Well done MR Amy Astro!

I love a girl that can turn a wrench. Great idea on the feet for stableization.
