I am wondering how well a conventional equatorial mount, such as a G11 or an HEQ6 or suchlike could follow a comet like Lemmon. I assume that the orbital elements could be obtained from somewhere so it would be a matter of programming the mount to follow in a non-siderial way and allow some long exposure imaging. Has anyone done this or am I talking through my hat?
