Ordered my PST today...

Placed an order for my PST today. I didn't even question them for a delivery date. I figured with so many people predicting this equipment is worth many more dollars than its current pricing, I better at least get on a wait list before Coronado or the retail dealers start listening.

If anyone gets one soon, I would really like to hear about anyone using it for CCD imaging and the mount setup you come up with.

According to Coronado, the limited focus travel of the PST may inhibit prime focus astrophotography. It's probably just going to be digicam images from the little scope.

Their web site info about imaging says that you should be able to use the afocal method with a camera attached to an eyepiece. Don't know about how to do that with a CCD camera. There won't be a lot of focus travel.
