Current setup
Paramount ME, EdgeHD 11 inch, Moontlite autofocuser Heavy duty, Optex Pyxis LE rotator, Starlight-Express H18 with 7 position filter wheel and a lodestar guider on OAG.
Going to rip the entire setup down in a month and will be redoing my deck, reinstalling the pier to make it more sturdy, and assembling an automated dome, then I'll need a skycam and I'll be ready for ACP software.

wiring through the mount is pretty awesome I must say. The paramount ME has a preexisting wiring through the mount that frankly has outdated plugs. It's a bit of a pain to get it through, you need to take the OTA and plate off, etc, but it's worth it. To not ever think about cables is great.
Trevor, can't weait myself. It's all focused and stuff. Tomorrow I think the skies clear and I'll play around for a few and get it all working, maybe hit an image really quickly. Would love to see no flexure.

Charles, besides the usual things about this mount (tracking,wt.capacity,etc), having the wiring through the mount must be great. No wire ties, velcro straps, dangling wires-sweet! Marc
