The paint is dry on the pier topper, so I remounted it in the observatory.
As I put in each part, I checked that each was level. As I suspected, the top plate needed some small adjustments. Now it’s dead-on.
Once the pier topper was in, getting the NJP mounted up was a snap.
Pumpkin looks so tiny on top of that huge mount.
Welcome, NJP #4026, to your new home.
