I seem to remember an article that was published recently in one of the US mags. Astronomy Technology Today I think it was.
It was mainly about the Gstar Ex camera.
Have you read it Jen?

You'll need either a laptop computer to capture the .avi's to or a
DVD recorder, transfering the files over to the Desk top puter to work on them.
So a laptop isn't really necessary. But, you add a couple of steps to go through in the processing. (boring)

But you don't just use the Gstar for imaging. You will find that you won't be using your eyepieces much any more once you have one.
The view I get on the puter screen, using my tiny little 80mm was comparable to what I could see through my 10" Dob using an eyepiece.
