Hi Tim, 

I have a niece living in LA who`d probably be more than willing to recieve & pass on a camera (I`ve broached the subject with her before regarding International postage restrictions) trouble is I have no savings to spare! Drat! 

Mark.

Hi Ron:

Depending on where you live, it might come pretty quickly. I'm in So Cal, and it was coming from No. Cal., but only took 2 days from order to delivery. I would imagine you'll have it in plenty of time for LCROSS.

Also, my ebay shows that both Scorpion models have been relisted, so there are more available, apparently.

Would be nice if it got here in time for the LCROSS impact, but not holding my breath. And guess now I'll have to buy another AstroIIDC license...
