When you buy the camera, that is all you get, the camera in a box. (approx $610 +postage) You will need a C/CS-1.25" adapter (about $35 - $50 depending on where you get it) that will allow you to shoot just in mono. If you want to get a filter wheel you will need a C-T thread adapter (about the same price). If you don't have firewire in your lappy you will need a PCMCIA firwire adapter, a belkin powered firewire hub ( the camera is powered through the cable and the PCMCIA isn't good enough to do it, even powered) plus at least one 6-6pin firewire cable if you get the hub. Then you will need at least an ATiK filter wheel (about $200) and filters, Baader LRGB $180, Astronomik ~$350
Total cost~$1100 - $1200 all up
