I ordered a Stella 3 w / cooling yesterday , looking forward to the real time action , if anyone can give me some pointers for first light , that will be cool...

I had one of these which was eventually stolen, the xxxxxxx just took the camera leaving me with the handset and cables, I've been unable, as yet, to buy just a camera replacement, my Stellacam2 does not seem to be compatible. The 3 is a great camera offering integrations as long as your guiding can accurately take. The operation is quite intuitive, just try a progressive number of integrations and experiment with the gain settings. Give the camera time to cool as this will reduce noise and hot pixels, it also works best with fast focal ratios, I used a 12" SCT with a F3.3 reducer. You will get to love this camera.
