Storm Babet hits Astrobloke's Village Observatory - Did it survive?
In this video we discuss the storm called Babet that has swept across the UK causing damage and floods. I live in Suffolk and flooding was a major problem. After making sure our home was ok I then had to see how my DIY observatory had faired. I just hoped I had built it well enough to survive extreme weather events. Did it survive??

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.
