Nice guys. Had a good long chat with some of them (and you too Jim  )
Was interesting watching 'live' as they set up their solar imaging gear then showed us the Prominences!
Pity I couldn't talk Rock Mallin into donating one of his Mallicams to me 
Was a great broadcast 
I spent last night mucking around trying to get my Toucam to broadcast properly but the quality really let me down. The images were crap 
Seeing as I can't afford to get a Mallincam I might have to keep an eye out for a cheap 2nd hand Gstar-ex. |

samsung SDC 435 on sale for $142 at Spytown.com I have seen it work really well. Does 8 seconds and for the money is a nice alternative to the higher end cameras.
