You can get a manual filterwheel like the Atik's, or Atik also do auto ones.

Good point. I didn't think about dew.

That's what I'd do if I had my time over again in any case.

Agreed I suspect I'd rather get the right tools rather than "easing" into it or it's going to cost me more in the long run.

Thanks for the feedback and all the info Stuart. I'm going to use my existing imager and learn on the field before I move on to doing a more serious purchase. But if I decide I like it and I can "handle it" then I'll go for the DMK straight.
