DOH ! .
But seriously, i recomend you get a Modded DSLR first. Like a 300 or 350 canon. There very cheap now.
Being in NZ, your temps are sort of "Antartic", so the noise wont be as predominant as it would like here in Australia because of our hotter temps.

You get a great field of view due to the big chip, easy to use, connect, and process.

Then if and when ready, move up to a Astro CCD of your picking.
Because by then you would have enough experience to know what all the jargon means and you could make a better informed decision (Still a QHY of course ).
Theres also plenty of help here on this site if you need it.
