yet? It does come with a digital camera but that’s not what you’re
paying for. It’s the snazzy machined tripod mount and the software
that you’re paying for (I assume). Software could be a little more
user friendly but once you get the hang of it, it does have a nice output but
to print the results you have to do some sort of trickery with the “print
screen” command which is dicey matter for me anyway.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

I have used the Solar Eye and I was not terribly impressed. I have always been
