Seems like it's going to be good Dave. Even after I dropped it on the floor, it still works, now that's what I call a well made camera!

Thanks Jeff, actually f25, my 8 inch has a focal length of 1000mm. Sure was a bit murky just after sunset yesterday, so I cranked up the gain to get a higher frame rate to maximise any good seeing. Obviously at the expense of creating more noise but hey, what's better, smooth and soft or coarse and sharp? A matter of opinion, I guess. Mine's best viewed when not zoomed in too much.
