Also, the planet cameras are video cameras and the focusing programs seem to need a series of frames taken at very specific exposure settings. Again, I am not totally sure, but I think using these cameras might be difficult at best.

Aah..so sounds like I would be using a hand held control widget as well for the planetary work, reviewing on screen and going down the software pay to drive focussing routines for dso.
In the same vane, If you were buying filters that were allegedly parfocal, which would be the best ones?Baader? Astrodon? In best I mean meets claims in terms of being parfocal. Any recommends?
Thanks again
