Hi Pete,
All subs were taken from my backyard.
I can now make dinner, watch TV etc in the comfort of my warm lounge room while the 'scope happily does it's thing outside.

I remote in via my laptop to check that all's well, and now rarely encounter issues.
It's taken a LONG time to get it all sorted out, with many hidden problems to solve and much googling, forum checking and chats to the developer. (Jasem is awesomely helpful BTW).
In fact, generally solving one issue then revealed another, but now it's all good and it's been well worth the effort.

Next on the shopping list is a rotator, then perhaps, I'll look into relocating the 'scope at a friend's dark site.

Lots of detail.

Greg.
Cheers Greg, lowering the contrast in the Ha stack has revealed a lot more than is often seen in this thing.... and nicely collimated optics and a now un-tilted sensor help enormously to reveal subtle details.
