Hi Ken long time no see. Yeah it is funny. I can get the camera from Korea NTSC model for about $A135 against PAL version of same camera from Australia for anything between $400 to $1000. That’s smell of rip off. But it may be that Samsung have fire sale due to US marked crash. Anyhow, if any of your friends on Cloudy Nights want to order this camera here is the link

The model you are using is much more advanced, but for my specific needs ( capturing meteor spectra) this model seems ideal (and price is right). With capturing software I’m using I can not use longer integration then 32X. What is important to me is to be able to get clear image with minimum background noise and not many hot pixels
