Coo Coo Clock Mount

[Tom Droege <tdroege2@earthlink.net>]

The Coo Coo Clock mount has been getting harder and harder to move.  This 
jostles the system and requires refocusing every time I move it 
out.  Otherwise, if I do not jar it, the focus stays good enough that it is 
hard to make an improvement.

Dan and I have taken the mount apart tonight.  The 2 x 4s on which it was 
mounted have been slowly twisting as they cured.  We added another layer of 
plywood and I hope that this will keep things lined up.

I want to keep TOM1 running in it's present location since it is the 
closest thing to an all weather mount that I have.   I can see part of the 
sky with it in it's shelter, so it can be run inside if there is a chance 
for a drizzle.  But I would not try to run it in heavy rain or if there is 
wind.

So far it looks pretty good.  I sat on the platform and Dan moved me in and 
out.  We shall see.
