Hi Jim:

Looks like some real promise there!  

I think you're going to like the flea a lot.

I did some imaging with my flea2 color camera last week for the first

time.  It's not as sensitive as the "flea1" because it's one of the

1024x768 pixel color cameras, but I haven't had ANY need to do any

flats or darks so far.  There just isn't any objectionable amp glow in

the corner like with the flea 1.  

I'm going to try guiding with the flea again tonight, this time on the

Nexstar 9.25.  

-Tim.

Happy New Year !

I've had my PGR Flea for a few months now but mainly autoguiding

with it using

the 4x4

binning feature on AstroIIDC. Last night was out and saw Saturn

clearing my

roof line and

didn't want to pass up the chance.

extension so total

focal length

approximates 8000 mm.
