It's a colour camera. It already has what looks like some sort of filter in front of the CCD, my guess would be UV/IR
will try and get a close up and post. But what I've noticed at long/high sense up mode that there's pesky hot pixels which appear as false stars.
Alex, yep I like the idea of a heavy duty camera tripod as it would negate the mucking around with alignment, balance/weights, etc.
Beard - yeah mate I had a goatee last time you saw me so am going the whole hog so to speak...tend to alternate between goatee/full but have had some form of facial growth for past 20 years
