A big thank you to everybody.

I think I will buy a second hand Meade ACF and an EQ6, this is probably not ideal for astro but it is very versatile?

I already have a Canon 50d so I will try that out first. My main concern is light pollution being harder to deal with with on an SLR?

The mono CCD looks like a good idea because ultimately if I couldn't get acceptable results I could focus on narrowband. I will be using the scope in my backyard which is like 7k north of Sydney CBD (another concern is I can't see the horizon from there).

Thanks again.

Cheers
Richard
