Thanks Fellas,
You have been very helpful and have confirmed some ideas I have. The sky glow from Melbourne is variable Erik. Sometimes almost nonexistant: other times it looks like a fire 10k down the road! Depends on the weather. I see you use a Logitech webcam. Is that one of the latest ones? Some of the new ones have impressive specs but I wonder if they are OK for astronomy.
OK on the Gstar, Karl48. I have seen some of Steve Quirk's images and am impressed. What I aim to do is have the scope setup outside about 10 metres from a back room of the house and do my observing remotely in the colder months. I have no desire to freeze my bits off! Of course in the warmer months it's different.
That's all for now. I'll keep reading the forum to glean ideas and information. I'm looking at ways to remote control the scopes functions.

Cheer
Good seeing
Nev
