Hi Michael,

I too am new to Astro photography so speak with limited experience, I have purchased a Canon EOS600d and so far am happy with it as it was nice balance between the 550D and the 60D.

I purchased the camera with the twin lense kit as I want to use it for day time as well as AP and if I could suggest you spend the extra cash and get the better lenses say the 18 - 135 mm (the 18-55 and 55 - 250 are very basic lenses). Either that or just get the body and look at a thirdparty lens from Tamron etc as you could pick up a nice wide angle lens reasonably and that would be great for piggy back shots.

So far have a shot of the moon (Video via registax) and also the Lagoon Nebula and happy to show you if you want, just PM me.

Cheers Anthony
