Hi,
Nice... But are you going to do imaging up there?? I think it may be best for you to make a remote control telescope if you going to mount your telescope up there and use it for imaging.... so that you don't need to be up there when you start imaging.
Have a nice day.

hi Weixing,
thank you for the suggestion.
i hope to eventually setup for remote guiding and imaging but it's ok as it is because the deck is in my backyard and the pier, and the pillar that support the pier, is seperate from the deck so vibration from movement on the deck will not affect the telescope. the pier is not rock solid but is as good if not better than a standard tripod on solid ground.
my biggest challenge is the worsening light polution around my house and the raining-season-haze-season cycles that've been prevailing for the past few years... :-(
i will be away until end of oct, so everything will have to wait...
