So I have a little to catch up on so here is a quick timeline of activities.
Nov '17 - First read about the Pikon
March '18 - Purchased mirror from Amazon
March '18 - 3D Printed all the parts
April '18 - Moped about trying to source a tube
September '18 - Started watch Eric Strebel
Oct '18 - "Hey I should be able to make this whole this out of cardboard!"
Nov '18 - Built my tube... and realized that my mirror was 1000mm and not 500mm
Nov '18 - Extended my tube to 1000mm and took first pictures of daytime objects
Dec '18 - Moon was in good position so I got first clear pictures
Next post will be in the instructions and dimensions on my cardboard tube and construction method.
I am currently working to get the movement system built so that I can actually point with some degree of accuracy.
