I love messing around with video stuff and rumaging in skips. Last week I rummaged in a skip and found this perfectly good coffee machine. The I bought some telescope tracking device from Ebay. Big Mike said the telescope thing just looked like the coffee machine from the skip.

I haven’t made the coffee machine work yet, but the telescope thing works.
At the moment I’ve just got it to rotate in one plane while I shoot a time lapse.
More on it later.

Can you tell which one was found in a skip and which one is a posh bit of electronics?
They’re both silver and black.
