DSLR is fine for dipping your toe into the water with a minimum of hassle. Here's a single 30 second 600D exposure behind an flt98 on an alt/az mount. (very little effort, no hair pulling )

Oh Please, there are some amazing images produced by DSLRs and they are usually the first step taken in the astrophotography path with many staying with them for many years.

How did you track this ?
Or did you take it when Orion was exactly in the north and then only manually moving the horizontal axis ?

Not sure why you're annoyed there Glen, I wasn't diss'ing dslr's, just showing what a non-imager can do with little effort.

It was on a CPC alt/az mount (ie. goto and tracking).
