Sounds like good stuff, a step up from this I just love the idea . But with remote control, possibly in two directions. I am looking for a simple light dslr mounting for tracking stars, more precise control, camera taking long exposure shots of the same square of sky (not time laspe), but sometimes just star trails with a bit of controlled panning (time lapse). Astrotrac and some of the smaller telescope mounts do it, something hand luggage size and very cheap tho for me.


Edit; looking at the telescope mounts again, the merlin type are very popular with the timelapse folk, fitted with a bluetooth plugin control is then from a laptop, phone or pad. Have also seen the start of apps to control mounts and camera, interesting.
