At least the dslr is multifunctional, you can take pics of anything and everything and you don't have to plug it into a laptop to use it. I love my canon 1100d, I can now get astro images in a 60 second exposure that would have taken a 60 minute exposure with a film camera like when I started out. I have an old cave 8"f6 eq newt. scope with a declination drive only. Beginers (amateurs) start out with the basics and now it is cheap and easy for us, I'll leave the hubble type shots to the keen and dedicated pro astrophotographers.
