BTW if the sun ever shines here during the day again and the Jetstream isn't blowing it's head off, I want to try my ATiK 16IC for solar imaging. Theoretically it should walk all over the 8 bit webcams for tonal range (65535 compared to 256) but I may be limited in the number of images I can capture before movement on the solar surface starts to smear the stacked images. This is where the mono "webcam" have it all over the larger format and dedicated CCD cameras. Their rapid frame rate that allows to capture those ellusive moments of good seeing. Oh for a camera with 1280x1024 pixels that is 16 bit and can capture and download at 30 fps
