Somewhere Safe

I bought a stepper motor and driver a while ago and put it somehere safe whilst i built the controller. This is, was, going to be my focussing system. Guess what ?

I am getting more like Tom Rush every day - have a look at the youtube link below.

Peter,

buy another one, decide to put in somewhere safe too - chances are the original one will be waiting there!

Great idea; that way i find my other socks, the spare car keys, my spare pair of glasses and the missus' 40th anniversary present.

Did you like the Tom Rush song ?.

Ah yes, the safe place.

If I ever find my safe place, it's going to be like opening up Aladdin's cave.
