Rumor of unknown origin¹ says there's a new all-in-one astrophotography rig on the market.  Aimed at the amateur astronomer, it combines telescope and CCD camera in a single unit with an equatorial mount and locator.  In its standard configuration, it has a quarter-degree field of view.

Naturally, it's called a Warhol.  It has, after all, fifteen minutes of frame ......

15 minutes of frame?!!

GAH. THE PAIN. THE PAIN.

You should post that in my [livejournal.com profile] astro_imaging and other groups. Might as well HURT them too.

:-P

Well, I'd oblige, but I'm not a member .... could add, I suppose, except I've already got about as much LJ as I can keep track of.
