No I think the posts here represent discussion on the topic "which is better?" as the OP posted, also there was talk of noise, particularly in relation to camera noise. I was simply reminding people that although the camera contributes some noise (in some cases a lot of noise) it is not the only source of noise to contend with. Even with my ST-10 and a LP filter shooting at Zenith I can rarely go past 10 minutes unless I'm shooting narrowband. So as the OP (and others) have suggested, going to 20 minutes on a DSLR would be impossible from the 'burbs. So to pick a camera on the basis of lower noise over 20 minutes rather than five is ill advised for most people here.
Oh, and I do upset people here, mainly because I disagree with them from time to time...
