Black Cat Technology
The Black Cat CCD Camera comes with a very poor excuse for a manual; just a few sheets of paper in a thin spiral bound notebook, showing what the dipswitches do & a few other brief instructions. What little software is included is mostly shareware. Stacking several hundred photos as I am told is required but stacking software is not included. A few other comments: very poor tech support, way overpriced for what you get, and I haven't been able to take any photos like they advertised. I was told that I had to have very dark skies in order to take deeps space shots AFTER I bought the camera. He virtually ignored all of my emails when I wanted to return it on the 30th day of my 30 day money back satisfaction guarantee.
You can see some of my pitiful Black Cat photos at http://www.ponyexpress.net/~crc
I highly suggest buying another brand.

Try them out? Why? There's no evidence that the images on their site, particularly the one of M42 were taken by the surveillance camera they advertise, and every reason to believe that some of the images they've displayed on their site were "borrowed".
