Budget depends on whether I commit to the whole hog thing- If I do I would probably flog my Atik 314L+ and filter wheel, my Gstar Ex mono and look at around 2 K at most. Have read some good stuff about the QH cameras. Might even flog my spare 1000D if I had to.
Would have to work well with 80mm refractor and 8-10" Newts f4-f6.
Have Maxim DL so ascom control is also a bonus.
Ummm, I hear my wife going "you are thinking ...what?!!!"

No one round here has one so I can't have a crafty look and try.
Will keep an eye on the second hands just for interest sakes anyway.
