I agree up to a point. FWIW, have a look at how I overcame the problem of where to put the computer: http://www.asv.org.au/index.php?option=com_zoom&Itemid=42&catid=136&PageNo=2 While I'd like to have a smaller computer, the way it's positioned at the moment is extremely convenient and the wow factor is high when showing public where in the sky the scope is pointed. All the software I ever use is conveniently located and there are no cables to trip over. I've since updated my scope so that it now uses Dave Ek's DSC's instead of the Magellan-1, which was getting a bit old. Also I've been able to remove the one cable you can see which is dangling down. --gd
