Yes Richard this very conversation came up this week at my observatory. I quizzed Peter on his speedy setup times and the software he is using to get fast setups. He answered this while sorting out an issue he was having at the time. His attention to detail is very good. We have discussed many of the issues he has sorted himself over the last 12 months or so and it is a credit to him that his patience has won through. Not only did Peter have problems with the OAG, he had problems with the mount and there have been several other minor issues to resolve along the way. He also made the carbon tube himself too and also changed over the drives on the EQ5 to belt driven. Its a great little setup that he has and it gets respectable results. Keep at it Pete, you're producing good images.
