Predictions for 2004?

I'd be curious to see what predictions everyone has for 2004 in the amateur astronomy/astronomy fields. For example, something like 1. Orion will release a Chinese 4" apo for under $1000. 2. The latest infrared telescope in space will make significant discoveries regarding Saggitarius*.

I guess just try to be somewhat realistic. Thanks, Darian Rachal

I predict a new camera for Astrophotography that will be self contained with memory and viewing screen and uses light amplification from a night scope to increase the potential for DSOs.

If; when the Twin Rover landing(s) succeed our understanding of the Martian terrain and geology will gain significantly, pretty panoramic pictures there too...Drooooooool, can't wait!
