Thank you for the quick reply guys
It maybe prudent to mention that I have three well versed astrophotographers as members of my astro club

, so assistance with issues maybe be quickely resolved. The answer I am looking for, regardsless of learning curve, Will CCD be a better pathway to go down compared to using a DLSR.
I have seen some fantastic photos from both CCD and DSLR cameras, even from the people who have replied to me. I cant wait to learn more.
Best Regards Paul.
