Well I'm using a 9.25" scope and an Imaging Source camera too it's  

the poor weather we're talking about here. Alan is an extremely

(he''l probably have a bloody good go though)

I obtained my first Imaging Source camera today but it`s one of the 640x480 pixel 

colour jobs.I hope to upgrade to a bigger scope soon too. At the moment I`m a bit 

boggled at the amount of information in Milton`s manual and am having problems with 

the focusing as my computer screen is 15 metres away from the focusing knob! I managed 

a good live video stream of a tree this afternoon though. The weather here in northern 

NSW Australia has been improving after a very wet summer!
