One place to look would be the Cloudy Nights forums .. and they have
several on imaging.

Hi:

The Celestron Neximage isn't an electronic eyepiece...it's a webcam
very similar to the Toucam.

In what way does it "suck"?

go get a tour pro camII...

What, exactly, is a "tour pro camll"? Where can we get one?

What didn't work?

The other thing to consider is the Meade #902 lectronic EP. Currently
$40 at telescopes.com. I've seen some very nice solar (thru a PST) and
lunar photos and videos posted using this (B&W) device. Seems like a
bargain and fun at that price. Output is composite video.

I've got one that I've fooled around with a little. The Celestron
NexImage basically is a webcam with a 1-1/4 barrel where the lens goes
on a regular webcam. It is a nice imager that works as advertised.
It comes with capture software and an older version of Registax. You can
get newer versions of Registax from the Registax web site. The software
works on an IBM ThinkPad with Windows 2000. The Meade LPI and the Orion
whatsis are probably equivalent, but come with different software.
There is a Google group catering to NexImage users.

The only advice I have is to put a filter on the imager to keep dust
from the CCD chip, which is hard to clean without damaging it.

I got one last week. Good deal. I am at odds with black and white but at
40 bucks,
and a little portable TV , what the heck! Camping will have a new
dimension.
