Good luck! Those look like Sky-Watcher dobs. Will you post/publish specs of your gear?

I think they are 16" Skywatcher Goto dobsons
-
Yes, 16" Skywatchers. We're watching a star that MU69 will briefly occult (cover up); that tells us about MU69 even if we cannot see it.

Thanks. Can you elaborate on the hardware? I assume that they have some kind of tracking. What software?
-
Dobs have their stock goto tracking firmware and alt/az motors. Digital video camera GPS/time-stamps frames, laptop captures via USB.

Can such a small telescope as the one in that picture observe MU69?
