> with the cam does blow it up to 1280x960. please correct, if i am wrong. With a bit more digging i found the FAQ at: http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/PWC/FrequentlyAskedQuestionsPWC Which confirms this. How do you find the camera? Does it work well? How is it in low light situations? The previous models of that camera seem to be the defacto standard for budget astronomy. I was more thinking about the Northern Lights when i visit Iceland in a few months time. I'm guessing the same approach would work. Take a video and then perform image stacking to form one image.
