"Thanks for the comments, Cliff and James! James, no probs: 1. I bought it from Edmund Optics: Point Grey Chameleon USB 2.0 Camera - Edmund Optics However, I notice it's gone up from £371 to £396, since I bought it. Unfortunately, this doesn't include P&amp;P and VAT, making it now £484 (compared to the £455 I paid). 2. Whilst £455 is expensive, it is cheaper than DMK 31/41 that I was looking at and has one of the new EXview HAD CCD from Sony that are much more sensitive (ICX445ALA). The max. resolution is 1296x964 with a fps of 18 (in 8-bit mode). Rate drops to 12 in 12-bit (I'm still exploring if the extra bits are worth it for moon). Camera also offers ROI (640x480) at 30fps (or any combination you choose to use). Not as fast as the Flea3 and Bassler Ace cams but much cheaper! Data spec found here: Point Grey - Imaging Products - Chameleon - CCD USB 2.0 Camera Also, Firecapture works like a charm with it. Allowing plenty of control for astronomy use: FireCapture 3. Used Avistack for stacking. Whilst Registax 6 is much quicker, I still prefer Avistack look but need a bit more time with R6 to get better results! Hope this all helps. The camera is a 40th birthday gift to myself (with contribution from others). Feels extravagant but has helped soften the blow of reaching middle age! I spent ages investigating and comparing it to others but it seems a good deal (i.e. extra real-estate for lunar imaging, ROI for planets, sensitive, USB2.0 and pretty cheap). I plan to write a review after I have got used to it and will post on SGL if I do. With best wishes, Nick \n"
