Of course there are nice Canons as well, i am not trying to talk you into a Nikon.
Thank you Glen the fact you are pro Nikon causes me to really think about changing brands.

I could not see a bulb feature with any camera I have looked at I presume the models you favour have bulb feature.

In any event I think whatever I choose will be much better than my 450/canon it is really old now even though it only seems like yesterday.

Fortunately my.standards are not high and even the 450/is way ahead of the web cams and little cameras I would put in balsa boxes...the Meade lpi was even a big step forward back then.

I wonder about the high.ISO you can get these days ...I can't imagine.even 3200 being useful...some are so high it would seem you could take a wide field hand held with no more effort than snapping the cat.

Thanks everyone for your expert guidance.
Alex
