The 10 minute exposure time certainly limits the possibilities, but at $300 it seems worth a shot (or 350 shots - har har).

That would sure fill up a hard drive or two pretty quickly.

Id rather have one decent shot than 350 lousy ones.

still as gadgets go having a tripod mounted robot ranks pretty high in the 'coolness' factor.
