Less time around the mount during the evening ( I have accidently bumped into the tripod legs on a few occasions, cursing and swearing when the alignment is out )
No more bending, squatting and hopping up on a step when the telescope ends up in various positions
I'm always rotating the camera to have the LCD display squared up when I'm on live view
I had a brief look at BYEOS and it has so many ancillary features
I already have my Laptop and I will eventually progress with auto guiding (PHD2) and telescope control ( Stellarium scope or similar ) in the future.
Thanks all again !!

Good move, and yes it has lots of ancillary features that give s you more information and learning. I used mine for about 3-4 years until I felt it was time to move on and up, and finances improved as well of course.
It's still all there on the PC and I may jump back to it now and again for some targets and projects. Just have to make sure I keep the camera battery alive and well.
Keep us posted of course, there will be plenty of help from all here.
