Like most folk have a few cables around the scope and mount,,, the heq5 is situated in the flat and to a bit of cleaning every other year ( typical bloke lol) I need to move the scope and wires and we all get the picture,, I didn't want to keep putting cable ties on and off, , Velcro can be annoying and electrical tape messy residue. So the new toy comes into the affray. Making custom cable clips to hold specific cables neatly. First up Heq5 tripod leg to zwo camera cable, Design done,, just needs printing. Few different ones to do Heq5 tripod leg to,,, usb cable,, and mount power cord , probably combine these two

Another cable tidy for the heq5,, one for on the leg,, should allow a usb cable connector to pass through,, Mede it large to take a few cables and so it loosely holds them to the tripod leg

New cable clips to hold usb extension cable to tripod legs ,, trying to get as much of my kit streamlined for dark nights,, taking the heq5 to the star camp at Galloway forest ,,so want all cables secure and tidy, taking DSLR and ed80, using byeos,, feel I'm more adapt to using this than the zwo asicap 178,, don't want too much equipment with me that I just go round in circles and waste good time no capturing stuff. Sent away to first light opticsβ go adapter to go in ed80 Focal reducer to fit filter wheel,, gives me more options,, month waiting time for production only problem
