Thank you Paul. Awaiting delivery of more shorter spaghetti later today!

That's Better Chris, the previous mess needed some divine intervention ? ? 

[ChrisWright]

@Jkulin Haha it certainly did sir! Hopefully will see some better guiding statistics too as well as a more condeced setup time on clear nights.

[Gina]

WOW That's a huge difference!  Well done.

[KevS]

Quite impressive Chris, I have a similar problem that I will probably eventually get around to solving ? 

[ChrisWright]

Still some to do. It might be obvious but the guide camera and filter wheel have no usb cables! There aren't enough USB sockets in the mini PC. Have a photography cheese board coming tomorrow to mount the USB hub on top of the scope. Also have a 12v 10amp power supply coming to power the DeepSkyDad mini 12v distibution box.

Like most of my projects, a work in progress ? 

[Gina]

Always plenty to do!! ? 

[MarkAR]

That's much better Chris.

First time set up for DS since the end of Astro Dark at the end of last season. Also the first time setting up the rig with the new tube. Strangely all the software connected and the mount is balanced. However I can see me in cable tie heaven tomorrow when it's raining. LOL

@KevS Just add meatballs and a nice tomato and basil sauce. ? 

[KevS]

? First run out so not expecting anything wonderful tonight. Strangely enough I have jus had pasta for tea.
