I am willing to upgrade there too. I have learnt how to Photoshop layer; limited success. I'm pretty sure I'm not going to be collaberating with any scientific astronomers, I just want pretty pics. Or are there advantages to being astronomically acurate that I have not considered yet?

You can sometimes do both science and pretty pics. The science that is done regularly by amateurs includes supernova searches, comet discovery and measurement, variable star monitoring (photometry), astronomy (measuring position) of minor planets etc.
