    Morning all
    
    After a spell of non-activity due to hospitals 
    etc Im slowly getting back into gear. Ive got 
    the possibility of getting a Meade DSI II Pro 
    ( DeepSky Imager) CCD camera - black and 
    white version - at a very reasonable price 
    and  wonder if anyone has ever tried it for 
    satellites- more specifically geostationary 
    satellites.
    
    The camera appears to do a good job on 
    astronomical objects but I wonder if the 
    sensitivity is enough for satellites?
    
    Another thing that has caught my attention is
    something called THE CUBE. Its a type 
    GO TO mount and is quite reasonably priced.
    I dont plan to buy one but it might be of interest
    to those wanting a cheapish GOTO mount.The
    website is www.iOptron.com
    
    Cheers
    Greg
