Another issue is that you may have a number of different cameras that you use, depending on celestial target. In my case:
  • DMK with a single Firewire Cable.
  • ST7E with a very stiff power cable, stiff 25 way Parallel cable and an RS232 Auto guiding cable.
  • Orion Deep Space Star Shooter with a USB2 cable and a Power cable.
  • Pentax *ist DS with a USB2 cable and a Power cable.
Whilst I do not use these all together, I find it effective to keep the cables coiled and attached to the docking station and power board in the hutch, so that I can relatively easily deploy the required cables depending on which camera I will be using. This means that it is not feasible for me to run the various cables in some conduit or cable tidy.

Cheers
