Thanks, Patrick, I'll consider it. I've got a Webcam and Hi-def video setup, so I'm all set for the "round stuff" already. On 5/5/10, Patrick Wiggins <paw@wirelessbeehive.com> wrote:
Chuck, as a member of SLAS you have free access to the club's loaner CCD camera.
It's an SBIG ST-6 so it's pretty old but it works and would be a way to get into astro-imaging on a budget.

Yep, that's the plan Rich, I think I mentioned it in this thread early-on. Still thinking about whether to go with a dedicated astro-camera or DSLR to start out with (I'm sure eventually it will be both). I'm not a big fan of taking a laptop out into the field, so the DSLR is the current favorite. Plus I can use it for things besides astro-imaging. We'll see which way the dice roll.

Hopefully there's a camera in the plans down the road so you can join the list of those contributing some wonderful images.
