Thanks Jeff!

The biggest restriction of setting up and tearing down each night, at least for me, is that I no longer pull a one night stand. If there is a clear spell over 2 or 3 nights, I then set up and leave the observing hutch and tripod out overnight.

Good luck with the observatory!

Nice image and good luck.
Thanks Doug!

Some very useful advice there - thanks. I have a Moonlite focuser on the Mewlon so I have never even considered looking there, so I might just give that one a once over…just in case!

Cheers
