I purchased some vibration pads. Have not tested them out yet. Regardless I am cool with the under 2.5 seconds shake/vibration time.
I also purchased a new dielectric diagonal. I will take better care of this one. After an observing session I tend to dump my equipment in the two crates and head home. Two or three days later I straighten things out. From now on I will blow air/micro cloth though the diagonal and and cap on both ends right after the end of observing.
I have another stool on it's way to me. This new stool will give me an additional 8" of height. Hopefully I will not have to stand to observe low in the sky objects. The current stool can be used for objects at zenith.
Still thinking about a tracker for high magnifications. Has anyone tried/own the tracker for the Orion Skyview Pro
