Yeah, that Mallincam is a great tool. What is amazing is the color 
views. Something that you could never see with the naked eye. Makes you 
wonder what the good guys have up in the geosynchronous spy satellites!

I deployed it for the first time at a public star party, Redrock, last 
night.? It performed extremely well.? We saw full spiral structure in 
M51!? We saw full color in M27, M57, M13, M22, M11, M8, M20, NGC7662, 
the Cat's Eye and many more.? The camera was awesome.? The shot of M51 
required the longest capture time of 96 seconds but after it appeared 
it was full of spiral structure.? The Mallincam works well with only 10 
inches of aperture on my Meade scope.? It shows views far better than I 
saw through even John's 25 inch Obsession!? I was so hoping that 
technology could overcome my huge need for aperture and it does 
beautifully!
