Thanks for the comments. I'm located in Brunswick, which sounds quite bad for astronomy stuff, but having seen some of the amazing images by guys like Eric Ng in the heart of Hong Kong things could be worse!

Yep, the scope is on a horseshoe mount and I spent the extra cash to get a motorfocus and a digital read out unit on the focuser. I have a wheeley bar and 2 large wheels attached to is so I simply roll it outside on my second storey sun deck for observing. Being in an open truss arrangement, I find that the scope seems to cool reasonably quickly, but I point a large fan at it for 30-45 mins as well if need be and leave it outside under a tarp to observe in the early morning hours.

Are most people processing their images in Registax with the wavelets module, or are they doing these adjustments in Photoshop? If so, what are are the advantages of doing that?
