DSLRShoot for AP
I'd also recommend, if you use a Canon DSLR, to download the DSLR script files from AP. Robin has done a great job by giving us control of the shutter and allows multiple exposures while integrating with the GOTO of AP.
This means you can set up the camera, prepare a list of objects, decide on exposure/ multiple exposure per object, pause time etc and then just press the button...no more to pay just drive away. The other "must have' one is the chart printing function. Beautiful clear charts everytime! No need to lug the Uranometria in and out.
I'm just finishing a plan of some 300 stars from Kaler's " Stars and their spectra" with additions from the ESO reference stars and some G2 calibration stars. Ideal resource for anyone interested in spectroscopy. The databases for AP grows and grows every month, something for everyone, beginner or serious amateur.
