Appreciate the reply,
Yes, i have left a fair bit out of the original question, I guess i wasn't trying to make it too complicated.
But yes, I am setting it up for imaging, but not remotely, I still want to go out and set it up and running, let it run and do it's imaging while i go back inside, and come out latter, close it all down, shut everything off manually.

I am in Borlte 2 area, shed will be a good 50 meters or more away from trees, houses.

I am building my own pier, so no cage onto, mount will bolt directly to pier without any spacing.

Scope is a Skywatcher Esprit 150, mount iOptron CEM120
So total height of mount with counter weight shaft horizontal is 1310 mm
25 degrees from this height puts the wall height at 2 meters.

Mount will sit at a home position with counter weight bar sitting horizontal.

So it is sounding so far that my plan of a 2 meter wall height will be fine so far, this means that 25 degrees is the minimum elevation i can image targets at.
