So I shall have a play around with Neximage until we do, then go from there. I would like to have a go at getting shots of Nebulas eventually. He has a SLR but it isn't digital, was thinking of having a play around with that and getting pictures put onto disc so i can still use the required software to layer them or would i just be wasting my time? Any suggestions on what program to use also.
The NexImage is a Moon and planet camera. It's not really good for anything else. Although I have seen some people try it on DSO's....bright ones mainly. Things like M42, bright globs and such. But it's still better if you get a DSLR or a dedicated CCD camera for those pics.

The best stacking software for the Moon and planets is Registax. For DSO's it's DeepSkyStacker (DSS). Both these programs are free.
