Hi Ted,
imaging can be an expensive and frustrating path to take in astronomy. It is best sometimes to keep things as simple as possible, and image within the limits of your ability, using more imagination than expensive equipment.
Just remember, somebody will always have better gear than you, and once you've imaged M42 for yourself once, there's really no point in doing it again.
I enjoy looking at other people's creative images rather than the same old things re-hashed over and over again.
My main astrophotography rig is a standard tripod, digital SLR and cable release. I use that about 90% of the time.
Regards
David
