Yes i was also wondering why you are doing these comparisons between DSLRs and CCD Cameras ?

What are you trying to prove ?

Peter if you are only trying to highlight that a $10,000 purpose built astronomical CCD camera returns better images than an off the shelf $1,200 Digital SLR camera built for everyday photography, then I think most of us already know that the CCD camera is likely to produce "better" images.

The reality is (IMHO) that not everyone wants too or can afford to spend that much money and so as an alternative we can use something almost 10x cheaper - a DSLR.

Peter if I didn't know better I would think you are a CCD Camera Dealer and what you are doing here on IIS is sales work ?
