Good one Baz!
How do you find the new Orion starshoot compared to the DSI?
What I have heard is that the starshoot is a nice camera!
cheers

Thanks all. Any C&C?

Gary, the Starshoot is a very simple camera to use. It is a great stepping stone to biggers and better CCD's. I don't think it wilol be long before I am ready for a proper mono camera and LRGB and narrowband filters.
