Subject: Flea 2 colour cameras..

Hi Milton, I was wondering if you`ve had a chance to use the 1032x 776 version of the 

colour Flea 2 camera. I was thinking of the possibility of buying one of these early next year. I 

notice the pixel value on the higher resolution model drops to 4.65x 4.65 micron pixels 

compared to 7.4x 7.4 on the 640x 480 model. It`s an extra $100 USD for this model & Point 

Grey also tack on $100 for a Development kit which has a IEEE 1394 b-a cable amongst 

other things. I understand they`re transitioning away from the Flea camera now? I`m told PG 

don`t sell nosepieces so I`m hoping one from Imaging Source will do the job. With the 

Unibrain Fire-i camera in the meantime, I was thinking of buying one of these nosepieces & 

widening the opening to accomodate the C-mount thread (as Jim Chung did with a penknife I 

understand). I`m thinking at the moment I`ll go with a $215 Orion Short Tube 80 Guide 

scope to begin with & leave the Lumicon Easy Guider OAG til later perhaps.Yours, Mark 

Gaffney.
