Thanks Ken, yes that's exactly what I was going to do. It will come
Thanks for the link, I'll enjoy reading through that properly. I've already read quite a few sources on the subject as it's right up my alley. Believe it or not however, as things stand even "just" a camera and a computer at the telescope is a logistical PIA the way things stand. Even though it's out in my own backyard!
That will all get sorted but my buckets are all rather full at the moment, so once I get back on top of work a little it's something I'll pursue. I'm still taking baby steps in astronomy in general, but it's coming along and a wonderful journey to be enjoyed; no need to rush. With specialist astro cameras now quite inexpensive that will probably be the next step, a few happy snaps of a pleasant evening. Eventually I planned to get a grating a play around with spectroscopy as it's just, well plain cool!
