Paul,
Based on your experience to date....what do you think the chances are of being able to remotely operate a slit spectroscope?
Similar issues to astrophotography BUT
1. We need to identify and find the correct target star
2. The guide optics only see about 10 x 10arc min
3. The target star must be placed (and held) on a 25micron slit gap.
I take it that the plate solving techinque is an important part of your success.
Any comments?
