Good luck getting everything up & running, an EAF makes things so much easier & helps hold the focuser in position. Hope your dry season is dry, my summer has been pretty much nothing but nightly clouds & rain.
Cheers,

You make a good point Mark, has me now thinking about those with heat straps in cooler locations. But thanks for the heads up, might just be easier for me to do it at set times.
Thank you, one step at a time ill be imaging one day soon. That's a shame about the weather, hope it clears for you soon. I know the feeling well haha.
Take care and with some luck clear skies!
