Might suit some of the Leyburn chaps,sounds like it was not a huge one.

Hope this finds an astronomer,the owner was telling my friend he was going to make a kids cubby out of it!

cheers Chris

Interesting all the same Chris, Might be an idea to place in the Ice Trade Classifieds also ? ?

Did anyone follow up with this? I'm just curious from a sticky beak's perspective...

I rang and left a message but no reply as yet.

I was almightily tempted last night, but realised that without motorising the dome I'd spend the whole night nudging it rather than napping away in the car

Peter, I hope you managed to figure out your LX200 cable problem?

Hi Dave,
As soon as I got home I tested both cables with a multimeter. The one I got off Pat had a broken connection and the one I got from Scope Stuff (same as the one I have in the obs at home) is wired correctly but will not communicate with either scope, weird.
Nice to meet you on the weekend.
Peter
