Skywatcher EQ8, HDX110 Mount Cable Guide

As part of my cable management, I have the cables coming from my mount wrapped in flexible, soft cable wrap. I've kept it secured with a combo of Velcro, tie wraps and rubber bands. But I decided to see if I could make a snap-on guide to do the job.

This cable guide snaps onto the handles on the mount that you use to carry it. My cable wrap fits snugly inside the opening. More wires in the wrap might require a larger "C" opening. If you like this and need a larger opening, I can easily make another version.

I also added a small "retaining" clip. I found that the guide slides up and down on the handle, which is OK but it can also slide right off the end! This little clip reaches around and grabs tight. So you can use it to limit the movement of the guide itself or lock it in one spot.

There's also a "cover" that you can snap over the C shaped section to make sure cables stay inside the guide.
