I got everything off the ground haven't been out to finish with the cams hooked up but, I think it's a step in the right direction . If not , I've added some more Velcro strips to the legs . I added my 6 outlet power outlet , 5lb. weight and maybe I'll shroud the bottom of the tripod . Cosmo my youngest is ready to playball , ya think?

Another example of the cool stuff we waste our money on. Gotta love it...

I enjoy the challenge that comes with all of this astronomy / astrophotography equipment. I'm always looking for a better way to mod or configure something.

Yep, it'll settle in.
I tend to sit and look at a project and idea's come to try out.
Pretty soon things start to work better.
It's always a work in progress.

I have a list of things I want to learn and do and astrophotography is one of them. I just need a better telescope and all the gear that goes with it.

You really do need some more wires..... What kind of scope are you using?

It's an 8 in Orion astrograph f4.9 / Newtonian , that's the Poman's rig with a modded old meade lxd55 goto / GPS mount . They make them with the motors and wires enclosed inside but, those cost over $1500 for the Orion Atlas mount and a lot more.
