I prefer mono (better resolution) but colour is OK.
Look at the ZXO ASI range - I use the ASI 174MM for solar
A DSLR is a good starting point for DSO - good support for Canons and some good software out there to control it. Problem is the next step on the ladder guiding.....
I have both a modded 1000D (FULL full mod - both filters removed -for spectroscopy) and a std 450D for general shots.
I can't comment on mod suppliers/ pricing, I got mine done while in the UK by Andy at Astronomiser.

Thanks Merlin. I'm beginning to see I have now started a process of never ending learning - I'm 50 next year so I supposed the learning will be good to keep the brain going for another few years
I had a quick look at the camera. Just to make sure I get it:
Your one does 128FPS @ 1936 x 1216 (2.3MP)
Mine will do 60FPS @ 640 x 480 (0.3MP)
If I have this right, that's quite a difference.
One more question. Would the full spectrum allow better thing in the future over just getting the H-a mod?
Appreciate the help
Thanks
Mick
