OK...I'm smart enough, but I had a near death experience last night with my scope. This happened about 2AM on the first crystal clear night we've had in months. The cables for the:
-HCU
-Dew Zapper
-Focus controller
-CCD
-DEC motor
...conspired against me and when I wasn't looking got SO F'ing tangled that I nearly took the whole scope down to the ground with me in a heap.
The HAS to be a better way. Has anyone seen a portable "console" that one could mount ALL the necessary apparatus to that would greatly facilitate setup and break down. I have some ideas, but would like to take the easier route of copying an existing solution.
