Looks very impressive Mike.
The trials and tribulations of the portable astro-imager. After a successful test night on Saturday, I spent Sunday morning sorting out the wiring loom for my rig. I have bundled up all the data cables on one side of the mount and the power cables on the other side. The data cables run down to a box under the mount where I have a powered hub. Then there is just one USB cable back to my laptop. The wiring looms roll up inside the box, meaning that they just pull up and attach to the side of the scope and everything comes off at the right point to plug into the scope controller, robofocus, camera, autoguider, focus motor, etc. Hopefully will save me 10+mins with cabling during setup & tear-down.
In the attached image, the power is on the left, data on the right. Haven't seen any interference from bundling yet.
