John,

I use a Starlight Express MX5-16 CCD camera with my LX10 and LX200 10 inch.
IMHO it is a very good camera for the money. It worked for me straight out
of the box and I was able to get good images on my first night out. Have a
look at the equipment pages on my website for a more detailed review and a
look at the images I have taken with it.
