The development of Rusty Mountain Observatory - Phase II is well underway and at this point I'm just waiting for the new mount (Software Bisque's Paramount MX) - hopefully early April. (Hopefully sooner.)
The photo to the left shows the permanent pier, sold by the same company, bolted to a concrete foundation.
