With news of e-EyE receiving my new Dragonfly remote power relay, I am heading up again with my wife this long weekend in order to get my setup 100% sorted out. I will be bringing my Avalon T110 tripod back as it will no longer be required. I will also take this trip as an opportunity to insert the Baader UV/IR Cut filter in front of my focal reducer, to hopefully fix the terrible star bloating in Luminance and Blue, as reported here.
My sincere thanks goes to Rupert Smith of Astrograph.net for his help in designing and having a pier plate manufactured for my Avalon M-Uno mount. This pier plate will finally allow me to set up my mount on the pier at e-EyE. The following is a photograph of it assembled: The entire pier plate is made of Steel, suited to be placed on my pier at e-EyE. The three protruding bars are attached to the base plate via M8 screws on the bottom. These are removable to be placed in whichever arrangement deemed necessary to place Avalon's own M-Uno Pier Adapter on top of it. This is also attached to the bars via M8 screws, as per Avalon's original specifications. The bars add 25cm of height to my setup, as per my own requirements at e-EyE.
