Anyway, as I mentioned it is available, but unfortunately I cannot give it away.

Sorry Lewis I purchased a new one from Bintel.
Well only sorry that I could not take yours off your hands but very happy dealing with Bintel.
My reasoning was if I have problems with it or anything I can call down and get help
.
I like dealing with Michael who has some links with Tabulam.
And I was in a buying frenzy
Anyways got the camera working last night.
But still a way to go with auto guide.
I still am not sure of what I am doing.
I have got the stuff I need however so I will see what I can do.
There is a lead that goes from the camera which fits in the mount and a lead from the camera to the lap top.
I have PHD downloaded and it comes on screen but although I follow the simple steps the mount does not seem to respond... mind you it still needs sorting so maybe I ask too much.. It occurred to me after the session that maybe I needed to ajust something like the length of the pulse.
Have anscom downloaded and looking at it today.
However making slow progress.. found a alluminium bar to go on top and conect all four tube rings to provide a platform for a camera or scope but mainly to stiffen the set up.
Made a neat bracket to atach electric focuser using cardboard and resin overlay which came out rather well and although still with a short cable have it working well.
The new little guide scope is neat.
I downloaded sharpcap and learning what it can do...
The new focuser mask is terrific and I like it a lot.
