Just another thing to consider. The SBIG camera like the ST2000 has two great things going for it. Enough pixels to make good big images for viewing on a computer or printing at 1600x1200. Also they have a built in autoguider chip which means you don't need to have a seperate guide scope, pickoff adaptor or a second guide camera. You can pick up second hand at more modest prices. Then the only choice is XM vs XCM (color) I use the mono one but for a beginner a cooled color CCD chip has a lot going for it. Also the software, use MaximDL it excels at almost every part of the image making process. There are several packages that are good at one or two parts of the process but then you will have to learn multiple software packages.
