While I have not been quite as avid as Joe in my umbraphile travels ( just seven for me) I can certainly echo Joes's excellent advice.
My eclipse rig for Exmouth is likely to be an AP92 Stowaway on my trusty Losmandy Starlapse ( fitted with a one piece worm block, so its PE is around 6 arc sec) possibly I'll go the whole enchilada and pack an AP130GTX and Mach2 mount. We are also looking at the proverbial " around Oz " road trip, hence how much can be packed into the car after scope/mount/tripod are packed will be measured based the following advice: happy wife, happy life....
Camera(s) will be an EOS Ra and maybe a new EOS R5..not sure whether I'll automate the exposures...but given the minute or less of totality, automation on one camera might be a good strategy.
I'll almost certainly use a Camranger to control the other camera....previewing images on an ipad screen makes focusing a breeze and worked brilliantly on my previous eclipse expeditions.
