Here are two photographs of the exact scope I am currently using. In the image on the bottom, you can see the keypad that controls the telescope automatically. The telescope has a 65,000 object data base and will go-to or find these objects automatically.

I am currently in the process of building a 8' diameter domed observatory to house it in, as the set up time can take over an hour, and then tear down time etc.

Wow, Joe . . . veeeeeeeeeery nice! That's a massive mount there, buddy. Who manufactured the scope and how old is it? Also, where'd you get the plans for your dome? I can only dream about something like that! From time to time please do post any good pics you take with it and ping me.
