Quick spec,
Colour, CCD, Resolution=1280 x 960.

Well there's always next year Dave.
I'm looking forward to the lunar eclipse!
Got my first good look at the moon tonite through the 9.25, was brill even through a 40mm eyepeice.
I ordered a 10mm eyepeice last week, waiting for it to arrive, cant wait to see the views through it.
