Things you'd like to see....

Posted By Nico Taelman

A 'Lego' CCD-system; a company offering a set of different units including a casual photography waterproof body only (10D-style) for about $500, a body-only cooled element with telescope adapter set for about $500 and a selection of digital backs (medium to large format-equivalent)with 'adjustable' Foveon layering technique to fit both bodies going from let's say $300 for 4 Mp to $500 for 6 Mp, $750 for 10 Mp, $1000 for 12 Mp,....You could buy what you can afford and upgrade later.
And lots of people buying it so prices drop quickly.

The 'Coastline' on Titan

Posted By Nico Taelman

I was pretty amazed too by the Titan pictures and indeed an ocean would be a great discovery! Does Huygens have cameras onboard? I thought it only carried non-optical instruments.
Imagine a tropical methane beach on Titan....Also waiting for January 14!
