Yes, I have some sort of circuit diagram with a description, but that bit is beyond me...

I shall post the items and some pics when I get home.

Ref auto focusing, I had an electrician friend of mine make me up a box to control my aw focusser from my laptop. I wrote some vc++ components which measure the dia of the star and focus on the smallest measurement. Works ok for me...

If anyone is interested, I can post a link to the code...

Thinking about getting one of these while they're on offer - 5in1 Jumpstarter with Digital Air Compressor : InCar Battery Chargers and Compressors : Maplin

Maybe useful for people with dead powertanks

I got one of these when my SW powertank failed. Wish I had never bothered, left it on its initial charge for 24 hours and took out the next night and it lasted about 35mins running my NEQ6, dew controller and laptop (via a 12v laptop adapter). Took it back to maplins and the replacement was the same. Then changed it to the 3in1 system and it is perfect. Its also £24.99. Brilliant, wish i had got this one first.
