I tracked and photographed aircraft with my TV Pronto many times, day time
on the up-swing Alt/Az mount manually. Question is what power you trying to
track! Also, had my Sony camcorder on my tri-pod, tracking aircraft and
videotaping it. Even birds in flight, pretty hard though.
Track with power or goto, you would need to know the coordinates of the
objects path before hand or own a fancy electronic guider that can lock on
to the visual image of the objects and translat it into XYZ numbers for the
computer. Military has that kind of device, some missiles would be useless
without it.

The LX-90 could do it, but the laser can't. Too much beam divergence
to make it a "pinpoint" in the cabin.

Seems to me the problem with tracking an aircraft is one has to know where
it
is going. Pretty hard to know that before hand...
Kind of like tracking a bird but a whole lot easier because airplanes are
not
that manuveurable.
