Morning guys (well up here it is),
Thanks for the FB Clive & Nick, much appreciated.
Hope you had a good imaging session Nick, I am more than slightly envious that you had a nice clear evening. Here in the UK we are currently stuck in a bit of a cold snap with a few inches of snow and freezing temperatures - typically the country has fallen to its knees and ground to a halt. Just for all you down under cooking in an Aussie summer and for fun attached is a picture of my back garden
Interesting comments Clive. The integrated USB hub concept has come up more than once and seems a popular idea. I have had a scout about and found suitable USB controller chips that would allow expansion of up to eight USB ports. Your comments have got me thinking so I'm going to wander off to my workshop with a pencil and have a think about what can be done.
So what we need is a focuser, dew control, USB hub & power source system. But I am thinking modular so you don't have to get the whole solution but just the parts you are interested in .....
Any input for anyone very gratefully received, always very interesting to hear what is really required !
Cheers & clear skies,
Dave
