Dave did I mention a Canon DSLR....lol

But the Nikon 50D is not a bad camera.....I know Terry Lovejoy is still wanting to test the Nikon and feels it may be a good choice of the nikons.....but I would be sticking with the Canon at least it's been proven.

Dave I tried 1.6 barlow with the Canon and 80ED and could not reach back focus....and if your looking at planets just buy a toucam so then you can use it as a guide camera once your finished with the planets.

Matt regarding cams.....I'm not really into cams more the DSLR's...you cant beat the 350D for value for money.

I personaly wouldn't be going for any of the small chiped CCD's like the DSI's and Orion starshooters and would save just a little more to get the DSLR...my opinion....no offence to the guys who have them who are producing great work with this gear.
