Firstly DSLR or CCD. I reckon this depends on what I want to photograph, well I am interested in deep space objects like the Sombrero galaxy, nebula's etc etc. To be honest I want to do the scope justice. Understanding the scope's limitations I want to be realistic. I have see some fantastic photos using the same scope with a Pentax K-X but the CCD seems to be designed for astrophotography where DSLR aren't.

I have tried both webcam and DSLR and feel the CCD if you get long exposure capability it is the way to go (which I don't have). I am sure that if you are going to spend big bucks which I can't ATM that is the way I would go.
For me without a great deal of money and only a beginner I am using webcam and DSLR for imaging. The webcam I have found excellent for planetary while DSLR great for long exposure but a pig to manage noise. Noise would be another issue to deal with so I believe the more pricy CCD's have better cooling capability where as the DSLR require a lot of DIY or aftermarket cooling.
My 2 cents worth.
