With the ever increasing advancement of light pollution in the cities and the ever increasing busyness of running families and business etc, people have alot less time to get out to the dark skies once a month. This is where tech. stuff like these and video cameras come in handy to assist with visual astronomy and to keep the buzz alive. The only thing with the I3 unit is that the tech. is closly monitored and only US citizens can access it at the moment. Each unit is registered to the owner and if you want to sell it you can only sell it to another US citizen so the Gov. can keep track of them. There is talk that these eyepieces may become available under a registered system to some of the US friendly countries so they may become availble here in the future or China will get their own system up and running one day. I wanted one but have since bought a Mallincam colour video system that will satisfy the hunger for awhile.
