There you will be able to see what other imagers are using, what the results are like, what they think of their equipment, ask them what they would do differently, etc etc.

That Ken, is the best piece of advice for Mark.
The ASNSW have the South Pacific Star Party in 5 weeks time (1-3 April). We have a special area away from the main crowd to cater for Astro Imaging (lights, camera, action
). Here you will see a lot of different setups with different goals and outcomes. Well worth the investment in time and $$$ (setting aside $200 for the weekend). We usually get between 200-300 people for the weekend and it is well supported by all the major astronomy shops.
Before I did anything I did the same thing, and it was well worth the time investment.
