Well the aliens might want to show up finally. So lets be ready. Maybe we can really wrangle out Linux-9.0 running on a subetna. Besides a ccd beats peering into an eyepiece and getting a crick in the neck. However u need some fancy cooling to get the ccd to low noise levels. The ccd camera i use has a Sony chip with "accumulate" capability which gives astounding results in low light conditions -hence curious to se how it fares on a telescope.
