Interesting proposal, John.

I've been looking over the Morel chart of the LMC, and there's a few triples there, even quads. Visually you'll need a big dob, 16" should do, for some of these. However, it is a busy field, and it will take time.

If using digital setting circles, 30,000 click encoders won't cut it to isolate and identify individual objects as they are too close. If using encoders you'll need a resolution in excess of 350,000 clicks. That will give you the resolution grunt that's needed.
