However webcam AP looks interesting for some time in the future. Picked up a $10 US webcam on eBay so I can play with it if the mood strikes.

Hi Ed. I’ve thought about a webcam set up also. At the moment all I have is my phone. I enjoy lunar and planetary viewing so one of these could be good for said happy snaps.

I would not be able to do colour balance at all, which would result in some quite odd looking images. However I've become aware that this would not apply to such an extent with imaging of multiple stars, so I've been thinking about that for a while now.

Hi Geoff. Colour-blindness would pose limitations on what could be achieved. It could also produce some interesting results.
I’ve just thought of another reason I’m not heading in the AP direction. Computers and I don’t play well together. The processing side would drive me nuts.
I’ve only recently, due to work restructures, needed to use them. And using them for pleasure doesn't hold much appeal for me. Although I wish I’d known years ago, it was only last year I stumbled across this forum while researching my next scope.
