Thanks, Bo. The Astronomy Tools Calculator site is always on my list of favourites, but I usually use the other tools (like FOV calculator); so I'm glad you mentioned the CCD suitability tool which I had completely forgotten - it's very handy.

Re the ZWO ASI1600MM (monochrome), one of my friends down here in Tassie has one and the images he has produced with it are excellent. I don't know what the colour version would be like, but I have put that on the list too.

Thanks for the helpful advice.

Cheers,
Richard
