Thanks guys.
My target objects for the CCD are deep sky (I'm perfectly happy with the Neximage 5 I own for planetary), and my initial scopes for 'getting my feet wet' would be my SCT at f/6.3 (1280mm FL) and my SW120 achro at f/5 (600mm FL.) So those pics help calibrate things in my mind for the latter, thanks Kevin. It seems okay for what I'm looking for (I can use my NEX-3 for wider shots).
In the medium-term, I plan on getting an apo at f/5.5 to f/7, FL of around 600 to 900 mm (though I'm toying with the idea of starting out with something really widefield, like the Orion ED80T).
I'm quite happy to muck about with a mono and filters - part of the learning experience that I'm looking forward to, and besides, the mono will make a superior guidecam when it comes time to upgrade the CCD to something serious.
Should I be looking at the QHY mono series? What do the entry level units come in at?
