That is a bit tidier. Cable routing / management

[Catanonia]

With the new EQ8-R mount on its way with it's built in power and USB hub, I have taken the opportunity to tidy up my cable management on the Rasa 8

Added a top Losamady bar (doesn't come with Rasa8) and sorted out all the cables.

Plan is that this will be 2 cables to the EQ8-R mount for power and USB connection and there should be no cables that are not fixed to the moving parts of the mount.

As my mount sits outside (under a cover), it should be a matter of putting then scope onto the mount and connecting 2 cables.

Fingers crossed it all works out.

On the EQ8-r there are a lot of "sticking out bits" such as knobs etc. I usually watched it when meridian flips took place but as it seemed to be reliable cable snag wise I stopped watching it flip  until the other night......

Yes, exactly what I want to avoid.
