William Optics Pleiades 68 Unboxing & Setup 

I'm waiting anxiously too! Been a pretty warm winter here in Eastern Idaho but lots of clouds and actually snow most nights this week.

@@cratervanawesome let's wait for clear sky then

Thanks. It looks like I might get first light tonight but we'll see how things go. Was snowing like 6 hours ago.

Thank you for watching!

I don't personally have a Redcat to compare results, but spec and feature wise its much better. Faster, slightly narrower FOV. Better optics.

You can check out my Astrobin for recent results the last 6 or 7 images are all this scope with very little data. www.astrobin.com/users/cratervanawesome/

It's much better now. I've moved to a poured concrete pier. It's very stable. Goes below the frost line in the ground and is flared out at the very bottom. For extra stability and earth grabbing. This was a temporary setup.

@@cratervanawesome was more worried for your safety, but happy to hear its better. Video please :)

@@jesuschrist2284 It was actually very stable. The concrete blocks were Connected with construction adhesive and the bottom was an extra wide paver secured the same way. Used it that way for about 6 months. I'll try and get a video together on the pier but here's a photo gallery of the process and finished results. photos.app.goo.gl/EF9XZ6Dianvhe1638

Thank you! It's still pretty new. Has a bit of a ghetto setup now to get the height for the mount. Will be pouring proper pier come spring.
