It's not a simple single camera.

It has 2 CCD's in it, one for imaging and one for guiding.

I`ve emailed the local distributor of SBIG cameras for a price. I`ll also look into pricing
on PGR cameras like the Flea and Flea 2 today. I seem to remember that PGR have an Asian
but not an Australian distributor?! Mark.
