Thanks for the replies Russell and Paul. I visited the shop at Glebe today and had a good chat with them. They also recommended the Sky Watcher AZ E6.. It looks like a nice solid piece of equipment.
I'm taking my camera rig out there tomorrow to test it out. I have a rail/ bracket that should work perfect for mounting
I'm hoping to be able to frame on the horizon and capture the moon rise and track it for up to 1 hour. The shots I have in mind is as follow
- tracking moon rising with city/buildings in foreground ( Timelapse)
- tracking moon through patchy clouds (Timelapse)
- tracking moon with the hopes to capture objects such as planes in foreground (slow motion)
By the sounds of it it's not as simple as telling the mount to focus on horizon and wait for moon than start tracking.... But it's doable. I'm sure I'll be asking a few questions once I start playing with the rig
I will be shooting anywhere from 1- 200 frames per second for Timelapse and slow motion. Each frame also acting as a still image.. It's an amazing little camera the Dragon!
If you guys have anything else to add it would be great to hear from you
