Thanks for the encouragement Mike.

GOAT1 is now operational, yay! Tell ya what, the amazing feeling of just turning a mount etc on and then slewing to targets, without having to set up everything and polar alignment....it can't be beat! Well it can, but this is a family safe forum eh 😂

Insulation works great, and the heavy cool room wall I'm using as a roof panel is perfect. An even through all the tin and insulation, I'm still getting good remote control ability from 40m away.

One day I'll put wheels on the roof. Yeah right, one day.

Polar alignment is so good and solid, I'm doing 1 min unguided subs at this small fov with the tiny qhy715c cam
