i brought it as i only want the one cable going out to the pier and the one power supply, means i can attach and leave it attached to the mount when i move it without having to rewire everything, by the time you buy a usb hub, power supplys and dew heater you gettng decent value for money

Tarpaulin to cover my scopes from homebase, and the Sky at Nights latest special magazine 'The complete guide to Astrophotography' which seems essential reading for one so clueless lol

As long as it keeps your feet warm and dry, that's all that matters. They look good value.

Too true, I'm currently wearing them and I can confirm my feet are warm and dry - whilst watching TV lol.

Just gotta do lazy susan bearing then get a hold of the perspex discs and set about making the moveable setting circle. Big thanks to Mick (Doc) for explaning how it works to me.

I've just boughtAltair 60mm Miniguider with Autoguider Webcam focuser, tube rings, multi-purpose base and a QHY5 camera. I'm going to have a go at auto guding, I'll probably be asking for tips!

I have to collect them this week from Altair Astro, but the downside is I have to wait until Christmas for one of the components (Christmas present from wife), should I wait for the scope or the camera?
