With the WO I would have thought a guide scope and camera were essential? Otherwise there's not much need for the laptop if the mount is just tracking.
If you're looking for a reasonable dark sky site only 90 mins from Perth PM me, and keep next Friday free.
I suspect from your username that we may be in the same industry...
Cheers,
Andrew.

You have a pm
The laptop will be used for the camera as well so i thought i might as well use it for the mount whilst am at it plus i would need it at some stage
I was thinking with a half decent drift alignment i could get a couple of minutes of half decent unguided exposures
