Half tracked I use a goto dobsonian piggyback setup at the moment while I wait for a second hand heq5 to pop up.

Nice. Although I think I'm better off with less stars at the moment. Being that I'm only a beginner at all this and I'm using pixinsight, which is quite difficult to get my head around... But I am getting there.
