I think thats around the time my brother left PWRR. Having to buy your own equipment now can potentially bankrupt you, i do feel sorry for your bank balance :'(

@turbotoes - beat me to it :D

Here is a windows Installer that should stop you needing to compile from source on Windows: http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/stable.html Gimp really is good for a starter package. See how you get on with it before spending money on a commercial package.

My main work is as Lead Software Developer for one of the UK's largest mobile networks, and deal with alot of IT companies every day and know just as many Mac users as Windows, on the desk I am sat at now there are 5 Mac Books and 6 Windows desktops. For the design industry (whether Photoshop...

I didnt see the point really, but got it just as a web tablet and Ebook reader, but use it for alot of things from Video watching when i travel for work, gaming, drawing and photo viewing. I'd hate to be without it now

Wouldnt say that was true at all, I have an Ipad, Iphone and Macbook pro, as well as the girlfriend having an Ipod touch and and my office have 3 desktop macs (as well as 3 windows based machines) and in the last 3 years of using Apple, I've had one device in for repair for a battery issue. I...

Think the short answer at the moment is no, It is not possible. The USB camera adapter essentially works as external card reader of sorts. Shame though as would love this feature, and I'm sure maybe in time it'll happen but not until Apple remove some API restrictions.

sounds like something I would like to do

I was exclusive windows up until August, when I invested in aMac Book Pro. Beautiful machines. It runs a dualboot of Snow Leopard and Vista Ultimate very well indeed. No crashes from either OS yet In a recent Magazine (think PC Pro) MBP's were rated as best laptops at running vista :D

Nice job Sarah! I find under exposing the picture allows you to bring out more detail. Although I haven't seen the moon in a few days with all the clouds :-(

Ah such a great shot, love the bigger version, can make out alot more detail

Thats alot of shots stacked up there! Still, While its down from £475 to £215, I might as well get it, and pickup a mount at later date. do you have a larger version of the last shot above?

Ahh....I so need to get one, at £215 you cant go wrong!. although convincing the girlfriend is another issue al together!!! good work again, I really do like it!

great work, love it! the galaxy pictures were taken with that scope as well?

Great thanks guys, to be honest it's mostly going to be for moon / space shots, and possibly a few terrestrial shots, not many. I'm thinking for the price difference and it's intended use, i'll go with the mirror over the Nikkor 500mm ;-)
