Hi All,
I have moved and along with Uni studies didn't have much time to address setting up the gear. This project I started ages ago and finally got it to a working system.
I neatened the scope set-up to fit cables into a single loom that can be plugged in quickly. On this set-up I only have the figure out a wheeling method to move the tripod to my designated location.
The second half of the project was to house all the EQ mount controls and computer inside a movable abject. This started with purchasing an old lectern with an inbuilt monitor. I then connected all my equipment (Batteries, Inverter, Computer etc. etc.) inside and now all I require to do is wheel it out behind the tripod and plug all the leads in.
I installed Teamviewer on the computer and now can control the whole thing from inside the house. I have placed it out twice, the first time to set-up the location, the second time was to see if the equipment was stable after the previous setup.
In the past it used to take 30 minutes to 1 hour to get everything set-up now it only take a few minutes. This should when fully completed be able to allow me to do some imaging while studying.
