Carastro Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Many people can't stand untidy cables, so for a bit of fun, lets see who has the most untidy cables. Those with OCD need not look lol.These are mine, taken a few years ago at Kelling, but they are still the same, just tie them back immediately behind the camera/filterwheel.https://cdn.astrobin.com/thumbs/Msm-uxyWCS_j_1824x0_kWXURFLk.jpg 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevS Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 As untidy as I can manage. However in the interest of fairness I have attacked the rig with a packet of cable ties since the photo was taken. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incisive_Solutions Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 @Jkulin haha no ! I’m bothered by cables lol - I like them nice and tidy but also to be able to get at them in case one is misbehaving!! It was my birthday on Friday and I had a mini pc and a Pegasus Advance Powerbox so am hoping it will let my set up be neat but accessible!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carastro Posted October 12, 2020 Author Share Posted October 12, 2020 Posted by: @TerryMcK Arrrggggghhhhh! I can’t lookLol, I just don't see what the obsession is to tidy up cables. Mine works perfectly fine without, and I am changing my kit around too often to be messing about with cable ties or whatever. Maybe I am the odd one out.

DaveS Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 ASA mounts are so sensitive to balance that having so much spaghetti hanging off the end would make it go haywire. Fortunately there are hollow axes that USB and power cables run through 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incisive_Solutions Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 @Carastro I'm actually not OCD but cable 'muggle' makes me twitch lol - mainly because my husband is a messy cable person and it drives me mad so I go completely the other way! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
