I use a imaging source dmk41 which is a few years old, higher end manufacturers include point grey. The features you want are the biggest chip and the highest frame rate you an afford. size to minimise having to do a mosaic, and frame rate to help get as much data during periods of good seeing.
Having sad this, if you can record video on your DSLR this is probably a good place to start...

Yeah should have mentioned I'm interested in Ha imaging.

I have a Canon 7D which shoots 1080p video, so maybe I'll start with that and see how I go.
