Yes, people, after 5-6 weeks of waiting, I picked up a dirty big parcel this afternoon from the post office.
I can't believe how big and heavy the camera is.
I am beaming, and, I mean, beaming, with joy.
Thank you, Peter Ward for your service, and, thanks to everyone for your input by way of responses in the other thread which I started, private messages and emails.
Excuse the crap image -- I just quickly snapped it with the iPhone in under 30 seconds of opening the Pelican case.
Only problem is that I'm waiting for filters and a Feathertouch focuser. So, no imaging until they arrive. I doubt the ED127's upgraded stock focuser can handle the weight of this camera.
And, Troy -- you very funny guy; that's why I kill you last.

Soo.... you're telling me that tonight with this clear sky ahead you're not even going to try to put it on the scope with the old focuser?.... yeah right.... C'mon! yoo no yu vant it!
There is a chance that you will have to adjust the ccd for blooming. If possible give the STL a go with a borrowed filter with your current stock focuser. The reason i say this is because most likely you want to build up your calibration library while you wait for your focuser and filter but I was told those calibration files are only good till you adjust the internal pot for blooming. http://www.sbig.com/sbwhtmls/abg.htm
Good luck .
