Mike,

Besides all the extras I would need to make this setup remote capable is way out of my budget at this stage.
I often wondered about remotely operating a Newt?

Apart from the obvious cable tangle problems you'd
also need an electric focuser & a frame rotator to
put the target the way you want in the frame.
Operating PHD guiding would be difficult - you'd need a computer on site
that you could remotely operate.
I am sure there are a dozen more things I haven't thought of.

I will have to check it out one day as the weather in Melbourne
is so bad that my hobby is coming to an end here.

cheers
Allan
