Hi Raymo,
THanks for the input. The main reason I'm controlling my telescope and cameras from my laptop is due to the shaking and vibration of the tripod. I agree it is not the best designed tripod I've ever owned and I've owned a few in my years of stargazing. Good idea with the weight hanging from the tray, I'll give it a try. I've just received my new NexImage 5 5MP CCD, the images are way clearer and the resolution is much better than the boxy CCD. All I have to do now is get a clear night so I can test it out. Hopefully I'll have a nice image stacked and ready to view very very soon.
Regards,
jason
