The camera arrived today as promised. Tiny little thing measuring all of 60mm long and 20mm wide. If the weather forecast is accurate it'll be a few nights before I get to try it out. On 11 Dec 2009, at 17:32, Canopus56 wrote:

As it happens it was my search for domes that led to the camera. My initial thought was to install a ~1 meter diameter glass dome in the ceiling of my library through which I could watch the sky for meteors and clouds. No luck finding such a dome yet, but the new camera may work in the meantime. patrick
