If you haven't already faked them you might want to consider bluring out your site locaton from those pictures.

Erm .... thanks Chris, maybe got a little too excited when everything started working ...... !

Decided to buy a very cheap cover for the scope, found one of these down at local clothes/garden/electrical hyper market!

Not bad for £15, complete with draw string, and its a breathable membrane. Although my roll off doesn't suffer from damp, its nice to keep any potential water off it from the metal structure above (part of the roof struts)

Before and after pictures ........

Thanks, now everything is finally screwed down, tightened up, cables tidied, maybe the weather will play nice and I can start PA and viewing!

Clear skies,

Another quick update, just mounted latest acquisition  - hopefully clear tonight to get some views.

Initially bought it for imaging with, so hopeful of some reasonable results.

Clear skies,
