Yes, having such a facility is indeed fantastic, I would love it if it was fully automatic and remote so I didn't have to pack teh car and drive out ect but hey, we canna have everything can we? Good luck with your plans mate

EDIT: Ok I see from your flickr pages you are indeed using it as a dob...even more impressive!

yes remote hasn't entered my mind - way too many steps away, I guess if you were considering it you'd have to move away from the newt to a refractor /RC / cassegrain for collimation reasons
