This is a follow up on the original video of my Budget Observatory build

Quite a few questions on finer details have been asked a few times so I felt an update covering certain detailed parts of the build was needed. 
Its also nice to show the Obsey and how it has performed over a very wet winter. It performed brilliantly by the way.

ProLogik balance meter and tuning tool
https://www.prologik-astro.com/

The meter is of a high quality and works really well. Not only is it great for helping to find perfect balance in stiff mounts but it is a fantastic aid to fine tuning your mount for the best guiding. It will assist you in adjusting your worm drive/gear mesh to the optimum setting and giving you great smooth tracking and excellent guiding numbers.
