Beautiful! Would you mind unlocking those photos? I wanted to zoom in but it asks me for my Flickr sign-in and I don't have one.
I was curious how the threaded rod works on the side of the plywood disc. The motor looks just like the ones I use, they are great for the purpose and run forever on batteries.
Nice Astrotrac knock-off! And the MW detail image is superb.
