Hi Jon,
I bought the 10.7 Mp celestron nightscape OSC 3rd hand from an IIS member who used it on a fastar setup.You can find more info on the celestron website. They are a budget , large size sensor camera with cooling down to 20 degrees below ambient. The images are quite noisy compared to similar expensive brands but the resulting pictures are quite pleasing. The supplied capture and processing software (astrofx) is apparently a cut down Maxim dl . The work flow for processing produces stacked and processed images in a matter of minutes. All the pictures I have posted have used this software with tweaks in PS.
Regards philip
