Brad,
Let us(me) know how you like it I am considering purchasing one of those.

Marcus I will. I will be using it in my ED80 the 12" is gone . I really think I will have the best of both worlds with the Mallincam and a 5" or 6" apo. I will use the Mallincam for DSO's and they will be in color. Look at this image taken by Jack with his ED80 here and they only get better with more apeture.

......Marcus......must hold off....do not buy ...

I'm torn in two here!

I'm thinking if selling my C9.25 to fund one of these Hypercolor will be a wise move... I'm not sure though.

Roland, very interesting and well written review. What I really enjoyed was hearing how you used this camera as a means for visual observing as well. There are a few guys on CN that have shared their sketches that they created by looking at the computer monitor while imaging. I know you (and I think your wife as well?) sketch using this method.

I believe sketching helps us become better observers by forcing us to look for all the minute details that we see. I don't believe this limits us to visual observing through an eyepiece and am really interested in reading more of how you accomplish this through a camera such as the MallinCam.

It really creates more opportunities for people to observe and study.

Thanks for this great read.
