I should also add that don't make a swift choice on observatory automation software. Research the options, pro/cons. Much of it depends on what you want to get out the software. I've had the pleasure of using CCDcommander, ACP and CCDAutoPilot. They all come with strengths and weaknesses. I'm going to resist getting involved in a cost discussion, but simply state that people fail to realise the importance of software. They drop huge dollars on hardware (OTA's and big red mounts) yet can't justify spending a few thousand on software. In particular, observatory automation software makes your hardware investment work for you and can improve productivity.
