I want to stay on DSLR for at least another year as I am learning at a pace that I'm happy with. Starting to get information and ideas overload at the moment.
I am actually going to experiment with Paul's 40D for say long exposure (eg 10min) and my existing 40D for short exposure at the same time to get the proper exposure layering so I reduces my physical time on the target.

Glad it's gone to a good home - my mate Craig_L was considering it but you just pipped him to it. I'm certain you'll love the results - you already know how easy to use the 40D is for astro work.
I heartily endorse pushing past the 10min sub barrier with this camera!!
The cooled DSLR and your 200mm f2.8L will be a killer combo.
It's great to be free of those 'in camera darks' too!
Looking forward to another Astro 40D owners posts...
Cheers
Doug
