While you're here, how about checking out the Astronomy Book List ?

I purchased an MX5 16 bit monochrome CCD camera in December last year for
use with my LX10 scope. I haven't been able to use it much due to poor
weather this year in the UK. However, you can see some of the images I have
taken with it so far on my website (address below). It worked first time
out of the box with no problems. It is very easy to use and does seem to
have the low dark current the manufacturers claim. I have taken pictures in
excess of a minute which did not need dark frame subtraction. I am very
happy with it, especially considering the price!

>Has anyone here had experience with the Stralight Xpress imagers? The web
site has some pretty impressive sounding technical blurb, inlcuding an
analysis by a seemingly disinterested third party. At the price (less than
$1500), both the monocrome and color imagers seem too good to be true (so
I'm suspicious).
