Thanks Carl,
I've seen those gyro set ups on tech programmes on tele. Apparently they are useful in calming the motion of smaller boats for pewkers. When the boat is anchored (and maybe at other times too I can't remember) the engines drive these massive fly wheels which actually drastically reduce the motion of small(ish) boats; smaller than ocean liners anyway.
Thanks for your answer.
Do you know anything about cruises designed for astronomers on non-gyro equipped liners? Is eclipse photography possible without the gyro?
