Looks great Peter, I might have to get up for a look. Not enough wires, you will have to get into imaging and mount the Meade on a wedge and hang a few dozen more wires on it.
All the best to you, your lovely wife and kids for Christmas and the holiday period.

Looks great and in a lovely spot to.
Do you miss setting up your gear.... Better still do you miss packing it up when the clouds/rain comes.

I am absolutely green (greener than your lawn!) with envy. That is spectacular.
