Anyone care to be the first on this list to get one and report on how well it works?
I've noticed the catalog listing. Amateurs have built similar devices before. I'm reminded of early experiments with fish-eye lenses and "baby moon" hubcaps. Seems like the resolution is too low for working with specific objects, but for patrol work and statistical data such as meteor falls, it might prove useful. Way low on my lifetime priority list to throw that kind of money at it, unless I'm in Steve Job's will, may he rest in peace.
