Hi Don,

I have a HEQ5 and unsucesfully tried taking unguided photos with this mount at 380 mm FL, so will share with you my thoughts, if you do not mind... :-)

Am I right assuming you already have the mount, telescope and a DSLR?

Then I suggest you to get an OAG and a guide camera first and have fun taking photos with your DSLR before you invest in a cooled CCD.

Unguided astro imaging is IMHO just too limiting.

Good luck with astro-photography, I am sure you will have great fun and a lot of learning with whatever gear you choose.
