I'd second what Theo has said. The DSLRs are a great way to break the ice into DSO imaging at an extremely competitive price. They are not perfect but they are still in a league of their own when it comes to chip size and ease of use when compared to other entry level astronomical CCDs. Plus you can use them without having to connect with a pc or laptop, though computer connection does make certain processes (focusing, imaging sequencing etc) easier.

Plus you can still use them for terrestrial imaging if you find Astroimaging isn't for you.
