I'm still green to all this too, but apparently if it has the CMOS sensor rather than the CCD sensor, word has it that they don't perform too well as an astrophotography camera. (all to do with light sensitivity)

Thanks, looked at the links and they confirm that this camera is a cmos one. I suppose that it may still have some abilities as a planetary imager which is what i plan to spend some time on as deep space requires long exposure times etc etc and the tracking on my scope doesnt appear to be the best.
I'll give it a go at venus, moon, mars and saturn and see how it goes. I managed to gain quite a bright image in the preview of mars last night just not in focus. I will endeavour to remedy the focus part having learned from this thread and let you know how i get on. If it works I have some collimation to do also before posting my first pic!
