No drives for the pictures although I do have clock drives fitted which I use for normal visual observing. The little compact works on quite fast shutter speeds so I start with the planet or moon or sunspot (with proper solar filter) just off screen and let it drift into camera view. It often takes quite a few tries to get a succesful picture. Maybe practice with some wide field views first, eg 25mm lens.
