Okay, thanks.
So from what I've read, the best DSLR for astro use will have large pixels and at least a 14 bit AD converter right? Is that why the Canon 1100D works so well in it's class?
I'm just pondering some of the reasons why my Pentax K-x doesn't compete well for astro use, though it could simply come down to heat noise in my case, from living in Hades where it's hot 9 months of the year. Better make that 10 months for this summer.
