Thanks Allan for the feedback.

What I am not sure about is whether a DSLR really is hampered by its relatively shallow "well depth" in terms of dynamic range. I am finding many images rapidly saturate around stars yet struggling to get that fine detail outside in the dust/gaseous areas. I understand that DSLR is certainly not in the same bucket as say a dedicated CCD but this would be interesting to know the limitations of the DSLR.

As for the journey, I'm an loving it and everyday brings news challenges and understanding of one's equipment. The FLT110 is indeed a very nice scope and hasn't let me down yet.

No work due to Christmas, new moon, at least 1 week of sunny WA weather - I'm in my element at the moment.

Cheers,
Darrin...
