It's here
My new mount has arrived.    A shiny new HEQ5Pro. 
Now, which plug goes where?
Better sort things out so I can be up and running tonight cause it looks like it may be getting a little dusty again tomorrow.

Exactly Alan.
I won't be guiding tonight if I don't get a serial to usb adaptor though. Looks like a quick trip to the big smoke RIGHT NOW before the stores close.

I've had a couple of lessons from The Ponderosa, just need to practice now. It's going to be a dream using a scope without backlash. Alex is coming over tomorrow to push me in the right direction for guiding.
Hopefully I'll sort it all out fairly quick.

They are a nice mount JJJ, I have one I use for visual observing and it does a great job. Alex has shown they are not too shabby as an imaging mount either. Have fun

Andrew, have a look at some of AlexN pics in the deep sky forum. He is using one to very good effect at the moment.
