First look: Phil Dyer’s Colour Astro Video Camera
It's ironic that at a time when quality 'scopes have never been better value and astronomy grows in popularity in the media (the BBC's Stargazing LIVE programmes, for instance), the silent war against the blight of urban light pollution rages on and is far from being won.

Phil Dyer (www.astrophoto.co.uk) has a new colour version that seriously undercuts the competition at an attractive price. Read more about IVCs and my first impressions of the PD Colour Camera here.
