Take a look at the OpenAstroTech project. I built the base unit and then made some clamps to hold my camera. You can control it with free software on a laptop which will accurately track the sun or stars. I used it during the last partial eclipse and should start getting set up for the upcoming eclipse but so far my photography skills have failed me for capturing these events.
