I have the colour one shot (DBK21) & it's a fantastic cam I reckon. I have the mono DMK21/filters/wheel as well, however in my mediocre seeing & very unpredictable weather, the DBK is better for me.
The only difference between the DBK & the DFK is the DFK has a factory fitted IR/UV cut filter whereas the DBK does not. I wanted to use my own filter so my choice was the DBK.
For DSO work, better off with a DSLR I think.
A quick pic of the DBK's capabilities.

Wow! Nice shot of Jupiter. I've finally received the astrophotography book that I ordered, so am going to do some more reading before asking any more questions, I'm still a bit confused why a 640 x 480 camera performs better than a 1280 x 960 one for planetary, I thought with all that light that a higher resolution sensor would give better results. Thanks again, time for me to crack open the books!
