Peter. Yes, well all the stuff you mention ive looked at, all very good ofcourse, but all a bit pricey at this stage. Ill see if im any good at it 1st with lesser gear.

Greg. Those links look promising, it looks like a DSLR is certainly an option.

Andrew. mmmm, it is a bit WW isnt it. Still, its a different sort of experience, so I hope to get away with it without loosing what little credibility I have ;-).

Mike. If youve got a DMK41 too, then thatll extra do me. Eclipses sound like fun with it all too.

Barry. Youve bought up some interesting topics there. Ive been wondering how to track the sun. I dont even know if the PME has a solar rate. Perhaps I can roughly guide on it with a filter on the guide scope at sidereal . Ill see if I can set the speed on my Timemachine to track the sun on an EQ3. Yes, a lappy in full sun isnt flash.
