You move the earth-sun distance in 8 minutes. I am not sure how well you can track with a camera at that speed to get any decent pictures.

Doesn't it depend on how far the object is from you and at what speed you're moving relative to it? And they plan on moving at 0.2c, not 1c.

These projections seem to point to a tenth of the speed of light. 80 minutes is a lot of time, but it probably won't be that much easier.
