Thanks Rod. Appreciated. I have a Kendrick Premier Controler.
Could you make the power cable for each in 2 peices?
With the 8" strap which I bought 2nd hnd, I cut the cable approx 9" from the strap & inserted a male / female plug set. I left the original male plug on the original cable end to go into the ctrlr. (total power cable length is approx 1.8m per strap)
This then allows me to leave the strap on the OTA when packing up without a heap of cable to worry about.
I use a corrogated plastic cable tube to run all my cables from the ground under the tripod up through the std "accessory tray" & attach to all items. (power to mount, power to focuser, PC ctrl cable to focuser, power to Dew straps, OTA temp sensor cable)
This cable tube is permenantly filled with all cables & an array of plugs protruding from the end. I then just join the corresponding plugs & sockets together.
The controller currently just hangs from the accessory tray on the tripod. Have to create some sort of tripod leg mount for it one day.
Do you have an email address that I can send pics to????
Cheers, Bryan
