Just interested why you listed the 350D as the start off camera.
I've been looking at the 450D with live view as I contemplate entering this money pit. I've already got the eq6pro, ed 80 and a currently unmodded gso 8 inch tube ( which I imagine will have to be shortened or modified to achieve focus)
I still have a 12 inch dob for visuals and also haven't acquired the laptop just yet, but slowly slowly as the bank balance fluctuates!
