Great find Dave, they are still available on Amazon in Jan 2024. Thank you
Tks 🖖🏼
Great idea. I have a load of cable ties and sticky pads to use them with and a few cable tidies that I have left over from my PC when I set up my new rig I had loads of monitor cables and other wires. I'm going t have fun cable tidying my Telescope.
I use velcro cable ties and tie all the cables together that run to the dec, and the rest that run to the ra go on another cable bundle
good stuff Dave! We are planning to go out to Alpha Scorpii on April 22nd. You are welcome to join us. I think we are gonna have a couple others from Tucson and Phoenix planning on coming out. Reach out if you wanna join us.

Would love to come out. It is a couple of hours travel, but I have it on my calendar so if the weather is cooperating, I'd love to come on out and hang with you guys and do some astrophotography!
It’s really just about getting the right length cables. Shorter the better as long as it’s long enough for full range of motion
