No price yet, it seems 1st production units will be available at the end of April 2010.

This is very clever indeed. I used a similar thinking in physically aligning the optics of my C11 but I had to remove the secondary for it to work. The card had to be set at the primary focal plane and you had to shine a torch through a pin hole to match the laser dot. This is really nicely integrated though. I'll definitely get one. Finaly a system where you can accurately quantify an offset and take the guessing out of the equation. Dennis, you're going to send me broke.
Thanks heaps for posting though.
You're forgiven.
