This is wonderful. It appears that CCD-based cameras will continue, at least for a few more years, to provide a greater capability to produce superior results in DSO imaging, but at a higher cost and by putting significantly higher demands for accurate guiding.

I'm not sure how having a crook mount helps regardless of the camera being used...in fact...I'd preach just the opposite. Your results will be even better if the incoming flux accurately stays in the one spot on a sensor.
I'd suggest newbies buy the best mount they can reasonably afford....and only then think about the camera/scope.
