My Simple Set-up

[JKB]

Well here goes. SW 150p on EQ3/2 with Celestron Guidescope. SPC900 Guidecam (Modded).

Hand controller MOD running through PHD.

Electric-less Focuser

Notebook and assorted bits and bobs.

I like that, neat and effective.

You rehoused the 900 in a new casing?

[JKB]

Thanks Chris.

Rehoused both 900's. (on guidescope is in a 75x45x35 box) the one I use for imaging is in a 50x50x20 very tight fit but compact. (both have red LED to show they are on.

I also use the Canon for DSO photos

Nice one....I have a couple of similar size cases, but haven't gone down the route of an LX Mod, so left them in their original cases for now - I haven't looked into the LX Mod - did you find it easy?

Also, what's that next to your laptop, and in front of the ali case? i've been trying to work it out lol...thought it was some flash power supply at first!

Very nice set up JKB!

Thats the other SPC900 with a lens cover on!

As for modding its a piece of cake really just take your time. Dont use the 4066 bilateral switch chip but use the NAND gate 74H.

Use this diagram (think its from SC)

Not at all difficult. Give me a shout if you want a hand.
