Thanks for the Back Yard Astonomy suggestion David - I will have to investigate that one further.

I have already purchased a remote timer / intervalometer device that plugs into the camera, so it is easy enough to take exposures longer than the native 30 seconds. I also plan to automate the focussing routine down the track a bit, because once that's done, the rest is much easier.

I might hang off getting an angled viewfinder until I see what the other options are for getting the image onto a PC monitor.

Thanks again,
Chris
