Great to be using at least one mount..although I did some widefield unguided with DSLR at up to 200 on the eq6 and it worked well even being a little bit out.

So the thing is more or less complete but with all these trees down I am thinking to build a log cabin with roll off roof and maybe get a 16 inch.

Geez Alex, a log cabin roll off roof, that sounds pretty heavy (The roof). What about putting an old caravan on blocks, with a pier up through the floor, and a slide off roof - might work ok and be less work than a log cabin, but probably ugly as hell.
