It goes directly into the camera. Yes, it really is that small. Here's a photo and specs. -------------------- --Michael Meade 8" f/6 Dob, Lunt 35mm | TeleVue 32, 13, 7.4 Plossls Observatory: 10/27/2006 (First Light) - 9/13/2008 (Hurricane Ike) My Sketches | Michael_in_TX on NSN I am looking for a 1980s Edmund Scientific 3" f/10 red-tube reflector, PM me if you have or know of one!

It takes 4 seconds to write a RAW file + JPG to the drive. Nice. Total number of RAW+JPG storage: 523 RAW Only: 567 Basic JPG (just for fun): 22,600. It takes about 50 seconds to format the drive in the D70. -------------------- --Michael Meade 8" f/6 Dob, Lunt 35mm | TeleVue 32, 13, 7.4 Plossls Observatory: 10/27/2006 (First Light) - 9/13/2008 (Hurricane Ike) My Sketches | Michael_in_TX on NSN I am looking for a 1980s Edmund Scientific 3" f/10 red-tube reflector, PM me if you have or know of one!
