I ended up getting a Nikon d 5500 and a 55 to 200 mm lens.
There may have been better chioces that I could have made but I must say very happy so far given that I am coming from an old cannon 450.
Managed to pick up a remote and have experimented with the new camera piggy backed on my scope whilst using the 450 to record star movement and adjust polar align.
Although the lens is difficult to focus, touchy, the use of the screen and having it in variuos positions together with the ability to enlarge on screen the star for focus is way better than I was used to.
Anyways I am happy.
Got a new lap top and soon will connect to net get deep sky stacker and start doing some snaps.. And at my level I will be happy.
Polar align was alarmingly perfect and managed 11 minutes thru the scope at 100 iso on the canon so at 55 to 100 on the nikon piggy backed I was pleased.
Had a go at extremely high iso and surprised how, relatively, low the noise.
Chasing a t ring but I dont like the drive to Bintel so I will put it off until next week.
All good happy with my choice, surprised I changed camps from canon.
Thanks to everyone for the advice and guidance I really appreciated the various views.
