use to take me a good 2 hours before getting my first photon until i managed all my cables correctly. before i had to unroll all my cables etc.
I turned my small coffee table (has wheels) into my "main control table". I taped all the nessisary cables around the table legs etc so all i have to do is put my laptop on it, plug in the cables already taped and thats it. i dont know how to explain this any easier.
hope you get what i mean.
that saved me a good 30 mins with the cables and a good 30-45minutes on focusing so right now roughly 1 1/2 hours.
yessss i need an observatory as im starting to feel my back carrying the EQ6, 10" newt etc out and in all the time.
