Always good to hear of people pushing the boundaries. The Cookbook home made CCD camera many believe revolutionised CCD imaging making it more affordable for the average Joe. Shame its still not available today. Have to say that I'm not sure if his set up would be considered cheap. A Kodak KAF-3200E would probably be 60% of the cost! Hope he doesn't get done over by the SBIG legal team for self guiding functionality.
