Otherwise looks great.. would love to see some crops of the galaxies...

How do you find the Marovian G2 8300? I've not heard of anyone using one before now..

Welcome to the 8300 club!
I don't know much about moravians - just wondering what led you down this path too?

Alex,Rob

Thanks for the kind comments.

Re the camera: I had a look at the other 8300 style cameras available and decided
A) Build quality is really good, IMO
B) It has a good cooling system, 2 stage
C) Internal filter wheel taking 1.25inch mounted or 31mm unmounted filters
D) Desiccant crystals are rechargeable
E) It was the right price for me

I'm a novice to CCD imaging so I wasn't sure what to expect, the camera has worked straight out of the box, which I love.

I hope to catch you both at the next 10CH night

Geoff
