Well, that'd be cool if it showed up earlier, but I guess I don't plan to get my hopes too 

high so I won't be disappointed that I have to use the Aplux for most of the Mars 

apparition.

Hi Tim;

When I ordered mine, they were estimating a 6 to 8 week shipping time

and it arrived in about 10 days. I have no idea why there is such a

discrepancy between the estimate and actual shipping.

HTH..

I was asked that I not post the price I was quoted for the camera,

but it's about a grand, as 

Milton had estimated earlier.  As for why it takes months to get? 

So far, I don't know how 

long it's really going to take, but it probably has to do with

limited production runs and 

quality control (a good sign that it's not mass-produced).  Also

good, because it's a research 

instrument, not a webcam.  

For the time being, I can keep using my Aplux webcam with Astro

IIDC, at least.

best,

-Tim.

Tim,

Do you mind if I ask how you paid for the PGR Flea and why it

takes months to get it?
