I noticed that you and Robin had some interesting chats on the yahoo site about the use of the aperture mask on the SA.
A filter slide or wheel that could move the SA in and out of the optical train would allow you to take an image of the star field, then the spectra without removing the camera from the scope. It would make it easier to flat field away the background stars... what do you think!!

I have tried this as I have my SA on a filter wheel. It will make it easy to position a star on a knife edge etc as I can frame it with a clear filter first. I tried subtracting a clear image but it didn't work probably becuse of different focus with the SA and the clear filter.
