Nice shot of the rig Nigella, I'm on the wrong side of the cloud today. Was a glorious sunrise earlier but it just clouded over since then. I'm primed ready to go, but not feeling optimistic...

Thanks Franco, it's making life a lot easier now. I can be up and running in ten minutes which is great. Tracking is spot on and can track for hours.

Thanks Mark, I'm struggling now with clouds but just sitting waiting to see if there's anymore clear spots. Hope you get some too.

Thanks, thankfully the bush I can keep on top of but the tree's belong to the church, lol.

Thanks Rainer, it's so much easier now particularly when I see a break in the clouds, lol.

Too much cloud here for any solar work...time for DIY jobs around the house and garden.

That’s a cracking setup, Nigella.
