I wish to relinguish the DSLR and jump head first into the wild world of cooled monochrome CCD imaging.

I don't usually do this, but, I'm asking the collective intelligence of this wonderful community in helping me decide.

Not sure which way to go. I'm a firm believer in diving into the deep end and learning how to swim, so, ease of use is a non-issue.

I have a 5" triplet apo refractor on a G-11 mount and currently employ an 80mm ZenithStar with a Meade DSI-C for autoguiding.

Potential to purchase an 8" imaging Newtonian or an 8-10" RC in the future is not out of the question, either.

If I decide to go ahead, the modified 40D will be on sale.

Cheers.
