As anyone used the Orion StarShoot II Solar System Imager?
Any good? What exposures can it do 15seconds or more?

G'day Adrian, I haven't used this one, but I've read okay reveiws about it (as far as value for money goes). It's a good entry level camera.

Compare the specs on that one, to this one.

and the price. Sometimes a bigger image is not always better as well. Would also make a nice little guide cam when you move up to deep sky objects.

Just been looking at a US site with some reviews of the Orion StarShoot II Solar System Imager. Not very good reviews from users. I might look into the Meade LPI. I have tried my modified webcam but it is so insensitive, even at full gain I can only just get a very feint picture. It looks like it may be stuffed.
