Maurice,
Thanks mate!
I was spoiled with the setup at St Leonards, the mount was just outside the office door - took 30sec to set things up.
I now have to lug all the cables, computer, telescope, and camera outside and find some shade - Oh and fight of the new dog who wants to help


The mount seems to be working OK and I do my scans in Dec.
Spent some time later to improve the alignment of the camera/ slit to the RA to reduce the tilt and tweaked the frame rate to improve the Y/X to very close to unity (I use x3 Synscan Rate)
Need to improve the focus to the new 9 micron slit plate and remove a slight sag in the 2" fittings.
Onwards and Upwards.
Ken
