Thank you all, and I will try to solve my issues before muddling the water with another thread. I have lots of time and realized I have a starting point in my closet. I have a miniPC from a buddy that I can begin prepping to control the D5000 I'll be purchasing, as well as building a battery box/distribution for 12v. Seems the power packs are good, but if you're running a comp, GEM, and eventually a camera and dew heater, I'm thinking future-proofing is the way to go. I'm very excited to have a year's long rabbit hole to dive into; thanks again for the warm welcome.

Hello everyone, I found this site trying to figure out what telescope I should start with, and now I have a list of parts and no telescope! I like the buy-once, cry-once method, so I'll be collecting parts over the next few years. I plan on building my own mount after a lot of research, as well as ending up with a setup for DSO. I'll be lurking more than posting since I know nothing, but wanted to say thank you for all your contributions/knowledge. This would be a tough hobby to get into deep without you. Clear skies, Bullnettles
