Got my new Flea camera in the mail yesterday!  Now the marine layer is back, though, so I 

couldn't try it out on Mars this morning.  I'll have to check and see what time it's rising in  the 

evenings, because when we get one of these weather patterns, it's almost always overcast by 

3am or so.  

The 4.5m firewire cable with the ferrite beads at the ends must be the one that ships with the 

Flea camera, because it looks like that.  

So, since I can't see the sky, I've been playing a little with a couple of lenses and my Mogg 

adapters that came last week.  So far, I've tried an 11mm C-mount lens and a 70-210mm 

Quantaray zoom lens with a Nikon bayonet mount.  With both lenses, but particularly the C-

mount lens, infinity focus seems to be out of reach, like there needs to be an extension 

between the Mogg adapter and the camera?

Hoping to try it out on the sky and the scope tonight!

-Tim.
