I picked up this little DMK21 Monochrome CCD for planetary work. It can shoot at 640X480 at up to 60 minutes - but is made mainly for planetary work to function as a CCD webcam. I shot a few galaxies last night waiting for Saturn to rise. I didn't expect much from such a small sensor, but it framed them quite nicely and surprised me with the amount of detail it captured. I couldn't get it in focus with the filter wheel on and no barlow, so they are all monochrome.

I will probably give these another shot sometime shooting with the color filters. Cheers David
