I think I have a copy of the AAIC talks Mark Bolton sent me. I'll dig it up as there was one presenter who went into in great detail and there was even software available for this sort of thing.

Types of filters. Exposure lengths. Whether a scope and a planetary camera is the better setup?

The Venus transit showed the best images were using the solar imaging setup of expensive solar filters and planetary cameras. But then totality is probably quite a widefield shot.

Perhaps 2 setups, one with planetary camera and one with DSLR for the widefield shots. It all happens so fast so you also don't want to get stuck in fiddling with the technology as it occurs either.

Greg.
