Nice images Anthony, very impressive results from the new camera. Maybe a little on the dark side. But definition in the image is sensational, no doubt the crowd at CN will really appreciate the shot.

You mentioned that you have lumera (spelling?) camera sitting on the shelf but I was just wondering what you have in mind for your old camera? Would you consider selling it? I am interested.

Gee mate, I'm a little disappointed with such imaging detail. I was expecting to see the Mars :rover2: .

"The Master of Magic" at it once again.

Hi Paul, I'll probably be keeping my cameras for the moment, I have plans to add another camera onto the scope for the finderscope but not sure when/if I'll get to it. The Lumenera camera is waiting for a Linux driver before I can use it - the guys at Lumenera have promised to write one but it may not happen for a while yet.
