Your dSLR (and a similar balancing weight) will weigh quite a bit more than a typical eyepiece, so ensure the mount is strong enough to hold the extra weight and run the clock drive. I figure my little Oly Pen will serve well enough once my 'scope is mounted on a platform drive, and I will need fewer counterweights at the other end.

Very nice. My yard is filled with these right now, sounds like the right time to work on my close-ups if the wind is gentle! :)

If your camera can do multiple exposures it's another way to reduce noise, and it will be assembled in the camera. I have not done it but have seen great results from the K-7, which had a rather noisy sensor at the time.

I was looking forward to some Alaska shots, haven't been there since ..1979? Wow. Amazing scenery in which to learn some new gear. Japan has some incredible scenery of a different sort, such an enduring civilization to learn and capture. Enjoy the new experiences, and the new gear!

A definite D. I've printed a few for family members, and did a very casual wedding as my gift well back in the film days.
