Hi Josie...

I have a zwo224mc that is certainly quick - not dirty though!

I'm quite happy with the ease of use, and the ASILIVE capture software is pretty good for beginners - you might find the live stacking capability useful.

It even works on my crappy lappy.

Ease of use is a subjective thing - for me its as simple as jamming the camera in the scope, stuffing the usb cable in the PC and starting up ASILIVE....

Not to denigrate the suggestions of DLSR - they are great, and produce excellent results.
Also a cheap option if you already have one....

the big advantage i found with the zwo cameras is the light sensitivity in comparison to a DLSR - you can get a result with a much shorter exposure.

Also the weight - you dont have 1-2 kilos dragging down on the Dob motors...
