Whilst I realise that DSLRs have limitations, [as outlined by Kevin],
Stefan Seip in his book Digital Astrophotography used words to the effect that DSLRs are closing the gap, and are now often producing results that
rival those of CCDs. My 1100D is worlds apart from my 350D, as far as noise goes. Incidentally, I would have thought that most people who
are prepared to spend often very large sums of money on equipment,
would happily spend a little more to go to a more astro friendly site when
acquiring these exquisite very deep images. As has been said though, in the end, it's horses for courses. I've enjoyed this thread though.
