True.  At the same time, the contrast is dropping, though, so gaining the "loss" of 

resolution back by increasing the image scale probably can't be done completely this way, 

most likely because they're less sensitive due to the color filters.  I'm still contemplating 

either another flea, or the Scorpion mono camera (which has 9x9 micron pixels).  If I got 

the B&W flea, I could switch cameras like some people change filters!  ;o)


You can convert movies to files (ie tiffs etc.), AVI, Movie and MP4  

formats using the "Export Movie..." item under the Video menu in  

Astro IIDC. It's the same functionality that Apple uses in "Quicktime  

Pro " - just no $30 extra charge for it.


I had already bought Quicktime Pro several months back before I saw this capability! 

Shoot.
