Not as much as you'd expect. I got it for a shade under £170 in the January sales at PC World. The reason the pics came out so well is that I googled for a page that had tips on the correct settings for taking pics of lunar eclipses (ISO settings and all that stuff). The first pics I took (before I checked out that page) didn't come out too well, but once I adjusted the sensitivity they came out lovely as you can see.
