Garyh - thanks for the info and that is one lovely shot!
IanW - thankyou too for the information, most appreciated.
I have looked at the Nikon D50 as a way into DSLR imaging, but at around $1K +/- a lens - the price is just a bit prohibitive. I will soon hopefully buy an ED80, initially for wide field viewing but with a view to doing astrophotography in the future with a Spotmatic or similar film camera.
The EQ3 is really just a starting point - i realise for serious imaging something much more robust will be needed. Robust=expensive!!!!
Cheers all for the comments/suggestions
Doug
