Suzy, sell your telescope, and buy some astronomy DVD's with lots of beautiful Picture and sit in your lounge room and watch them with a nice warm/cold cup of something.
You will get the same effect as with the camera's, but without the cost of telescope , eyepeices warm clothes and other things we need to do for observing,you will miss the discomfort of the Mozzies, cold nights . hot nights.
Most astro imagers never look through their telescopes, after all, all they are only Telephoto lenses when attached to a camera.
Whilst you are faffing about with polar alignment, cable, focus, computers and other parafanailia? the night sky is rotating and the wonders are lost in the glaire of the bright lights, Red and white,also computer glaire
Then your core begins temperature rising because this thing or that is not working, and you have wasted a whole night for very little gain and you have seen nothing
Just a few points to help you decide about going down the imaging road
