Hi Tim;

Thanks for the link and notification.

They also would work pretty good as a cheap guider camera, as longest exposure time is 0.833 seconds.

Bin the Monochrome model 4x4, use moderate gains and you likely can guide off mag 9 stars with a 8" aperture scope using an OAG (Off axis Guider).

TTYL..

While they're CMOS and USB2, the prices are so cheap I may buy myself a couple to adapt to some of my scopes as finders.  That way, with a Firewire CCD camera in the main scope, I may not have to look through an eyepiece ever again, LOL!
