Err? I think Scott himself might best explain my comments - which were intended to be humourus. You see Scott and I originally purchased our Scopes about 15 or 20 years ago at about the same time - in fact that's how we first met. He had not long bought his and I contacted him to see what he thought about it. Since then we have seen lots of new and expensive CCD cameras and telescope mounts enter the market. Scott and I tend to have this private joke that some people have spends tens of thousands of dollars (or more) to get the bees knees in ccd equipment etc but the images are not necessarily substainly better than what Scott and I can do with our astro equipment worth only a fraction of the cost. When Scott and I bought the cameras we paid in the $1500 to $2000 bracket - I know their cheaper now.
So I hope that puts you in the picture a little better.
Best Regards
