wilso... ive had most of this for a fair while now, given it works i havent really seen the need to upgrade, although all the automated gear these days is astounding. i am in the throes of deciding on a new camera, hence my appearance on the forum, just seeing what everyone else is doing etc.

as per pic, WOFLT132 on a G11 non gemini, guidescope is WO megrez 88, guide cam ZWO 174 using PHD2 for guiding. fortunate enough t have it all in a home made observatory, with no street lights nearby, although the glow from melbourne makes shooting east a waste of time.
Cool looking setup mate yes, automated gear, hmmm?....I'm slow on the uptake too ..still turning my dome by hand

So if it is your Eastern horizon that has Melbourne glow, I take it you aren't at Yarra Junction anymore, which is east of Melbourne..?

Mike
