Carrying around my 20" obsession is going to kill me,
but what a way to go.

Hi,
After receiving the camera very promptly in the post last week (thanks again Stephen), I put it on my 12" LX200 during the week and got some shots of Jupiter and the Moon with it.
Have to say I'm pretty happy with this little camera, does a far beter job then the toucam, not bad for a "guiding" camera.
Looking forward to trying this again, and especially with the 20" under a steady sky.
Took this after the lunar eclipse, pity there was no GRS or moon/shadow transits.

thanks everyone,
Michael, I think in my haste I took it in colour, so next time I'll try and capture it in B&W, tbh I need to play around abit more with it to get the most out of it.
