Very impressive - Shame there's no info. on the kit used.

Apparently he used a 18" Starmaster Dobsonian and a DMK-21F04 Firewire Camera (which I think is a souped up toucam?)

I guess the larger apperture (if you have the seeing!) really makes a difference in resolution

Look at the pic of Mars on their website.

That 18" is $6395 - about £3400.

No chance it would fit in the car is there?

Just checked out the spec on the camera it does a full 30 FPS with no compression, not bad considering the ToUCam struggles with 5fps.
