Thanks guys!

Thanks guys, a great help as always!! I bought a Canon 40d. Will probably get it modded in the near future. Im partial to my 254mm, and use my 80mm for guiding, and a 30 sec exposure on Eta Carinae shows detail already. Looking forward to better weather so I can take some longer exposures. Who would be the best to mod the camera and does anyone know an approximate cost?
Any other tips as far as exposure times go, the longer the better I s'pose and a 240v power supply is going to be a requirement also. I was going to use Nebulosity for capture, PHD for guiding with a GPUSB, or I have Maxim DL CCD and Maxim DSLR, both of which do both.
I think that someone mentioned free software for processing. What would the names of these be and where do I find them? Do I really need them, though?
I have Registac, Photoshop CS2, both the Maxims, Deep Sky Stacker & a couple of others I have forgotten the names of, sorry.
Any other tips would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Babalyon.
