Thanks again Paul, I too am a photographer, panoramic landscapes are my favourite in terrestrial photography. Hasselblad XPan film camera with 45 and 30mm lenses.

An Olympus E series DSLR with it's ultrasonic dust removal could be the go for astro. I own an E20P but couldn't adapt it for astro work unfortunately ( too heavy and fixed lens ) so bought the Canon, lightweight for telescope mounting and great resolution.
