Thanks

Andrew,

Thanks for that information.

I was wondering if you had any experience with Andrews in terms of buying CCD cameras off them? I have bought two dobsonians off them in the past and found them helpful. I can see the potential for a lot more to go wrong with something electronic and would want to know the dealer knew about the product.

Regards,

Paul Floyd.

Andrews are Atik importers. They have the Atik 314L+ which uses the same ICX285AL chip as the Orion - but it's listed for $2999. Details at http://www.atik-instruments.com/html/atik_314l_.html

Andrews might still have stock of the cheaper 314L which is the same camera but doesn't have adjustable set point temperatures.

They also have the $1499 16ic-s but that uses the ICX415AL and is only 782x582. http://www.atik-instruments.com/html/atik_16ic-s.html
