Depends what you want out of it i guess Tony , for me working with my hand set it takes no more than 5 min tops to set up. i,m happy with that cus me and puters dont get on lol . so i shall stick with what i have , Have seen Daves ( Centroids ) set up , he controls his through the puter , so i cant knock it in anyway , looks very good . But not for me i,m afraid. Rog -

I,m not finishing Tony , if it came to it ,i would sell the imaging and scopes ,and get an 14 inch SCT for visual pleasure , imaging Lunar and Planets only , a few year on and the Planets will come good .

Well as i have mentioned Tony, this has been going on for so long now, into the third year of very bad prospects of clear nights , and getting worse,this may well improve over the coming years , but like you i truely dont think it warrants all my money tied up in this imaging . I shall personally give it one more winter ,if things dont improve ,then its goodbye DSO imaging. Its only a hobby i know , but does tend to take over ones life. But lets not give up hope just yet , the weather pattern could change ,or is that wishful thinking .

Oh dear, Why do things always go wrong. Had a feeling it would be a bad day, decided to do a bit more on the new set up , having done the software on the Laptop , this just left me now to make sure the CCD was working ok and that i could focus, so set it up , only to find , the Sun was to bright ,could not see my Lap top screen , amazing when you dont want the Sun , its there to cause aproblem lol . Anyway i thought i would move it to a shaded spot, bad move that as i tried to lift it with all the weight on , yup you guessed it , tweak!!! the old back went . so then removed the weights ,and carried it to my shaded spot, only to make things worse , now the back was killing me , Then heard aloud crash , the table that the Laptop was on and where i put the weights collapsed, chipping my nice new paint on the weights , lap top was ok , then in anger i swung the scope around only to whack me in the lip . Hobbling about now back aching ,lip throbbing,i eventually managed to get the camera focused, so thats the next step done . Now just need the back to get better before attempting to lift the scope again for its first light. But at least i was rewarded with some clear weather for the nights imaging session from the Dome . So spare a thought for old Rog, who is seriously .selling it all up next year if things dont improve , and turn the clock back to Observation, through a 14 inch SCT lol , !! whispers)) i may do Planets and Lunar only, but we shall see . END!!:sad:

Oh dear , its really getting a pain in the neck now . when Winter comes i say, oh long clear cold nights , but nooo its long cloudy nights for the past few years, Then i think to myself , ah ,!! but wait!, Roll on Summer , at least its warm ,and i can wait till later on , bound to be better nights , sun all day and nights remaining clear . But no just rain and clouds again , will we ever go back to those long clear nights i had , when i started this crazy Hobby about 15 years ago, when i could say , i,m out tomorrow looking at the Stars , and 100% i could . So i sit indoors as usual hoping for a miracle to happen. Heres Hoping. Rog:cya:
