Watching it a bit too much tho!

Starting to print one of these on my modified Voxelab Aquila,

Preparing for a clear night!

I put the controller board that I use for #OnStep into an enclosure. Now I'm measuring to see if it gets too hot inside that thing.

I'm in the process of retrofitting an EQ3-2 mount with motors and #OnStep in order to get guiding in both RA and DEC, and maybe also the fancy pants GoTo functionality.

Now, after many failures and problems and being hindered by clouds, I finally got it to do guiding!
