I have the K5 (thanks Canadian Ebay shop) and the GPS unit (thanks Peter).
Tried last night under a beautiful sky in Gembrook and very happy with the "poor man's" astrotracking. Attached - with and without tracking (2 min 30 sec exposure). And a tracked Omega Centauri shot with the telephoto at around 200mm (1 min 30 sec exposure). What a clever setup for quick and easy skyscapes.
I need to use better lenses than the one I brought to Australia with me and some more experimentation with the GPS/astrotracker calibration, but a good start.
It was also great to get back out under southern skies - Omega Centauri, 47 Tuc, Wishing Well cluster, Jewel Box, Carina Nebula - I missed you all.
