4: Complement with a tripod

The Star Adventure needs a steady tripod, more than a normal tripod for photo.

Luckily my friend Robert had an steady tripod that I could borrow.

I had to tighten the friction screws to the hinges. The head of the tripod has a bolt to attach it to the instrument.

The bolts diameter is too far big for the Star Adventure. I don't want to destroy anything on the tripod, I have too replace it with a 3/8" bolt.

Here is the new 3/8" bolt with it's washer.

Here how it looks with the Star Adventure, Canon 6D camera and Sigma 150mm f2.8 lens attached. The tripod is very steady and light weight.
