I started with the humble ToUcam, and still have it. I also have the DMK (firewire though as it works better with the Mac), and really the DMK is the goods, but requires an inversely disproportionate amount of effort.
For the learning stages I reckon the cheaper ToUcam is adequate.

Thanks Gary. I have a small nexstar imager which is a small sensor giving 640x480 in color. I might start with that and give it a go but I really like those DMK and I'm enquiring about the good stuff so I know what I need and buy it once. I want to get into planetary imaging seriously and get the right tools for the job.

Hi JJJ, I'd say you 'd have to go 10" and onwards at F/10 and possibly barlow on top of that.
