This is an amazing piece of kit, with a large 1/2" sensor and 256 field off chip integration (soon to be infinite with our own software!). You can view all the wonders of the night sky live, as if you had amazingly powerful eyes.
Take a look at our website for the full rundown.

There is a perfectly good ramp on the other side of his tank, but he insists on climbing up and down plants.
A great mascot for astronomy, patient, hardy and slow moving! :)

You can do this yourself in a few minutes, the reason for the censored block on Google skymaps is far more mundane than a government cover up. The original image was removed from the dataset due to it being defective.

Fantastic video I found. Some fantastic images and great discoveries, not a bad achievement for a species that only a few generations before was flying around in fabric covered wooden aircraft.

Jupiter via mobile phone (and 12\" dobson!) Jupiter via mobile phone (and 12" dobson!)

Video duration: 94 seconds

This may suck to the untrained eye, but this video was taken using a mobile phones camera. What you cant do with duct tape.... You can still (just about) make out 3 moons (Io, Europa and Ganymede, callisto is out of frame) and a bit of the banding structure. Next vid will be with an SPC900, so the difference will be clear!
