nice little find (for all those ccd imagers)

i was having a look at some astrophotos when i came across this site, the details captured in some (all) of the images on this site are unreal.
i havent seen these cameras mentioned before but im guessing they would cost you an arm leg and kidney going by the images produced.

(oh and im not apologising if this makes you buy one )

Nice cameras there and pics. I found a page not long ago with these cameras advertised.. 4500 BP, $10000 Au?. I might have to sell the car! but the wife won`t let me....
When my poor canon dies maybe I can afford a real ccd camera!!!

There are plenty of others out there, SBIG is perhaps the most common and do have the edge on their dual chip design (imaging & guiding), but this doesn't always suit everyone. Many prefer guide scopes with separate guiders. No such thing as one model suits everyone these days. Many flavours and colors to choose from :

Finger Lakes Instruments - http://www.fli-cam.com/
Apogee - http://www.ccd.com/
Theta Systems - http://www.theta-system.com/sis.html
Fair Child Imaging - http://www.fairchildimaging.com/prod...as/scientific/
Star Light Express - http://www.starlight-xpress.co.uk/products.htm
Lumenera - http://www.lumenera.com/astro/index.php - If you are serious about imaging the planets, you will not find a better imaging system on the market today. I think this is what Damian Peach uses.

The list could go on... I've even forgotten about the good ol' cookbook CCD camera (sadly now obsolete)...

I've been hearing the call of the Lumenera SKYnyx 2-1 for a few weeks now and am not sure I can resist any longer!

I wish people would stop posting links to the Lumenera website
