It's a standard Dob with no go-to or any other modifications. I use the drift method, positioning the scope so that the target begins out of frame. This allows a couple of seconds for any vibrations to settle before recording. I repeat this three times one for each filter. It has to be done quickly otherwise rotation between the filter changes will make combining the RGB data in processing difficult.
I know that it's not the most convenient way to do planetary imaging but it's an example of something different from the norm.
