Thanks Gary and Matt.

I am about to purchase the GPD2 this week.

Matt that set up you have for guiding looks amazing.

well done.

I will look at a similar style set up.thanks for all the information

Sounds like it has a lot of fans.

regards Chris

Thanks Gary,your advice was most helpful,I installed the new GPD2 on the pier
yesterday,and started putting the cables back in order.

Even managed a basic test run between clouds,all went smoothly,and will even be better after a proper PA.It will be good to have a slightly more heavy duty mount than my older GP.

Thanks Matt,that Borg finder looks very neat.Might look at one of those,when funds allow,Although the home made 'finder guider' sound like they do a great job too.

Here is a couple of quick images of the new set up-Chris

Hi Chris,
looks nice! Hope you enjoy your new mount as much as I do with mine. It's soo nice to have a mount that actually tracks properly......
cheers

Hi Chris,

Congratulations on your new mount. As for the home made "finder guider", most certainly it will work fine. I have bought the Mini Borg because I do not have too much experience as for modifying things (read: too lazy).

Regards,
Matt
