Latest cabling effort. No more balance related issues.

Almost too neat!
It looks like the mount is floating on a blue magic carpet somehow.

I got some photos of mine last night - quite happy with it now. The bulk of the cables are supported by the mount and wrap up ove the centre of the newt ota. Ive mounted my dew heater controller on the SBS bar between the two scopes to minimise the cables that dangle from the mount - now only the 12V power and the serial connection to the dew heater. Everything drops into a box below the mount where the USB and 12V power are located. 3xUSB cables to the lappy and one 240V power are the only cables coming out of the box from the scope.

Interesting setup Pete. I'm at a loss though as to what is the function of the cableless object in image four. I can only assume its isopropyl for cleaning the mirror. Remember too much of that and you'll go blind Cough couastrofestugh

Paul,

I assume you are referring to image 6 - we were celebrating the first clear night in what seem like 4 months down here however I'm sure it is good for cleaning something!

Astrofest (being so cold) requires red!
