Thanks
Both those ideas would work well but odds are this will be a fairly quick project in terms of the physical build part so i will use a 365 scope cover for the short term.

I rapidly gave up on any ideas of DIY automation as the risk to equipment outweighs the cost of a turnkey solution for an unattended solution. I expect there will plenty of debugging going on even with that.

There is a key goal at play here which is to increase image capture time 5 fold by the end of this year and increasing again next year through further automation.

If I can get to that I can commit to contributing to some projects.
