I thought you used your 300D and 350D for imaging Eric ?

I have my 3x2.4metre shed but haven't converted it yet. I keep my EQ6 in it and power supply and just moved a computer in recently but it still has stuff stored in it ( sofa bed, boxes etc ).
Looking at using eltrak system for rolling roof off ... it's a system for sliding doors which should work a treat when I get around to it.
www.eltrak.com.au

In the mean time it's not too hard setting up and breaking down but am looking forward to permanent setup with good polar alignment etc.

cheers

And plenty of times after when you setup your equipment expecting a good night the clouds comes and ruin your night.. geeee's don't you hate that?

I have attached a pic what i have to setup every imaging session . Sitting on that blue plastic chair in the Melbourne cold isn't much fun either.
