    SPC900NC magnification?

           Does anyone know what the comparable magnification level of the SPC900NC is?  What mm eyepiece would it be comparable to as-is, with no Barlow hookup?  I appreciate any help that anyone could give! 

    P.S.  I finally was able to get out and use the camera and everyone's advice from all my questions, and had a pretty successful 1st night. Once again, thanks to everyone!  It's nice to get out and work with the settings and experience what makes a good capture and what doesn't.

    The specifications on the ccd chip (icx098) indicate that its a diagonal of 4.5mm. That roughly equates to the value of an eyepiece, in terms of its magnification..
