Wow another from the central coast!? Why didn't you say so!
You're more than welcome to come around to my house (i'm at Wyoming) and check out my dob, probably should wait for the full moon to disappear though
ausastronomer is closer to you, he's at Berkeley/Killarney vale.
We go up to Kulnura (Paintball Place) every new moon weekend, so the next one will be in 2 weeks. You're more than welcome to come up and join us!

The modification for $140 lets you take a long exposure or to lots of individual shots.

David, that's not entirely accurate. By default, the ToUcam lets you take lots of individual shots, ie: 5 frames/s, 10 frames/s etc. The long exposure mod is only useful if you have tracking, and will let you take long exposures (eg: 2 minutes) as you track an object. This is used for DSO photography.
In it's default mode, it's only useful for planets/moon/sun.
I'm sure the mod has a switch to allow you to change between one mode and the other.
