Thanks for the replies.

Because my setup is not permanent, and I am not really looking for the 1 hour exposures, just bundles of 1-10 minute ones, I thought a #1220 would be a good option.

Generally, I take my scope out on my own so a wedge can be an extra burden for me. A de-rotator will be a quick setup, and should give adequate results.

Martin, thanks. I have seen them in the Bintel shop online, which is actually what piqued my curiosity in the first place.

I have *just* missed out on a #1220, just on an off-hand enquiry. I'll keep looking, there must be one out there somewhere.

Failing that, I'll go into Bintel and get a new one. Online price in under $700.
