Thanks Rob for the advice on the QHY8. It seems these are often sold. Are they difficult to use? How do you control the Exposure times etc, is it all done with software or are thier controls on the connector box..

I have notice one guy selling one on IIS at the moment and claims he is going back to DSLR. Why would he do that if these items are so good. If this is the way to go I am happy to go that way. It just spun me out when I had my heart set on the 550d Canon. I have been using a 300D and am not sure if the 550D is as good, worse or about the same?

If others agree that I should go down the road of the QHY8 I will do so as I still have the 300D that I can also use anytime. It's having live view and a higher pixel rating that lead me this way in the first place.


Really appreciate the input as it will help me make the best choice for my money as I don't have alot to spare.

Regards
Mardy
