Hello Paul, Jeanette, and Frank,
Thank you for your comments.
Jeanette, I did not read your article on the GStar. I subscribe to Aust. Sky & Tel, and collect the Pommy Astronomy mag from time to time, but have not seen a copy of Astronomy Technology Today. Is it an American published mag?
I can confirm your issue with the puters. The Drizzle stacking of four hundred images takes the better part of 30 minutes on a Macbook Pro Core2Duo 2.4GHz running 2GB RAM (which gets maxed out very quickly on the Drizzle). But the results are definitely worth it.
Have you had experience with the GStar colour camera? Is it as good as the Mallincam Hyper? Now that is a bit of gear which looks like it will Rock and Roll. Of course, at USD1200 it ought to roll quite a long way ... Still cheaper than a QHY8.
Regards,
Tony B.
