skybsd,

I did mine in a single pour using a plastic footer form. You can read more about them here -> http://www.bigfootsystems.com/ While it made for digging a bigger hole, I was able to install, level and backfill before I did the pour. I have construction pictures posted on my website: www.graystarobservatory.com

Regards,

Mike V.
