hey fellas,

although i do have access to the uni's astro gear, im planning my way into having my own gear. I know that mono CCD's are the best way to go in regards to sensitivity, though for a start i would love to go take a photo of DSO's with a Class 1 one shot to learn the craft first before taking on a whole new demon.

Now what would you guys suggest in the way of a good quality colour CCD/DSLR in the range of 1000-1200. I am saving atm for the either the EQ5 or EQ6 goto mounts with something like a WO or Tak 80 90mm ish. This will be only for this setup, as my long term goals is to put a big 12" + SCT or Newt onto a Vixen/Losmandy mount (a fair few years from now).

For the whole system im looking to spend around $5000 but would like to draw on peoples experience Pro's and Con's and experience before i move ahead.
