View from the Southwest

The power outlet is visible here, with a power strip beside it. the computer is supported by two 5/16" rods inserted in unused holes in the bottom side of the tiltplate of the wedge. I like the simplicity of this arrangement, but wonder about vibration from the computer fan transmitting to the scope. Because the computer mount puts some torque on the wedge, computer must be mounted when I polar align. The LCD panel of the computer is covered with red acetate to reduce glare. During normal operation, the computer is closed and the entire system is operated from the den 50' away.
