Finally got the videocapture software and the mount working again and made the most of clear skies. Having to take my daughter to piano lessons looked like it was going to ruin my plans, but my wife nobly took over and after 5 minutes instruction managed to complete the entire solar mosaic for me.
Scope - lunt80PT
Camera DMK41
Mount G11.
17 frame mosaic (OK she took a few more than she needed!) combined in photoshop and processed in AS!2.

Thanks guys - not bad for a beginner! I started to talk about a second set of longer exposures for the proms - of which there were a few good ones, but I got the look most husbands know only too well...
Cheers,
Andrew.

Nice Andrew, a suggestion though is to get rid of the water mark. I never use them, I know I took the image and so does any potential thief. I find water marks very distracting and totally unnecessary.

Fair call Paul - it's not like I'm trying to make money out of it either! I think it's a default in astrobin.
