My reasoning at the moment for considering OSC goes something like this:

I started off with an EQ5 mount, and most of the time I was just battling against the equipment to get a decent image. I felt more like a mechanic than a imager. With my current camera, I also feel that I am battling the equipment again - sure it is possible to get decent images - but only after a LOT more work than if you just had reasonable, clean data to begin with.

I reckon the biggest part of getting a good image is in post-processing, and that's what I want to concentrate on learning next, and I can do that quite happily for a while with a colour CCD.

Thanks for your replies so far everyone - this has been a very interesting thread!
