HI Dave

I've bought a Pentax K-x with some astro imaging in mind. There was no significant differences with the Kr and I got an 18 -125 Sigma zoom which will do me for terrestrial all for $599 . It has the lowest noise CCD in this price range- much lower than the cheaper Canon cameras . I think it will be fantastic for imaging. I am about to buy an intervalometer and IR cable release from Ebay ( about $100 ) to do some wide field time lapse and later to control subs for imaging when hooked up to a telescope.
