Re pics - nope. But I'll see if I can organise some.

Why so sophisticated a camera? Wouldn't a fairly basic webcam do the job, as long as you can manually adjust brightness and contrast in the software control? And it would depend on how faint is the star that you wish to watch appear/disappear? But although by using integration you could put up fainter stars, that adds a degree of delay in the image display which will probably not help at all for occultation - surely you want real time observation?
