It arrived. Managed to get stars in focus and an image on the TV screen!

(anyone want an s-video cable? The CLR does not have an s-video out socket! I used the supplied RCA lead.)

Saw no colour at all on the first night so set it up during the day for testing on terrestrial objects. All B&W - hmmmm? Changed option from "Night" to "Day" and now there is colour. Huh?

OK, tried once more at night and I had saw colour images of Orion nebula, Carina nebula, 47 Tuc globular and the Jewel Box cluster. Interesting colours, but I have to get the settings right yet.

A good start - I'll persist! ps. thanks Bird for the helpful advice as I played with it.

Couldn't resist - just ordered a USB video capture dongle from Ebay.

Cheers
Eric
