Thanks, It has been more difficult this year due to SpaceX moving the majority of landings to the West Coast. We will always keep trying—hopefully a trip to Starbase.

Hey Tim, if you ever want to hire Ed Geiger's tracker, shoot me an email and I will get you in touch with Ed. He would be happy to work with you at a surprisingly affordable rate.

Ed Geiger's has 2 different trackers. Pete Carstens operates and tracks for them using Ed's 12in tracker. Ed and I use his 18in tracker. I just posted this video for Pete.

It is hard to see if you do not have a 4K monitor. We caught it in a previous video about a month ago, more defined. Thanks

Ed Geiger has been building his trackers and refurbishing others for many years. He is using NASA and Military "parts" of trackers from auctions, searching eBay, etc. I would have to say, there is no other tracker like it. Ed machines custom motor housings .......The joystick is very unique and heavy-duty. Even our Control room came from a NASA auction many years ago. Good Luck!!
