Hey Eric,
In my opinion, go for the DBK, its the camera I have my eye on getting when I have the funds for three reasons:
1) Lots of images I have seen with this camera are excellent, especially planetary images using a barlow and it seems the noise level is quite low.
2) It can also be used for deep sky as well (limited with a dob because of field rotation) but can go as long as 60 minutes per exposure.
3) Relatively cheap for a dual purpose camera, as you progress and probably get into AP later on, this camera makes an excellent guide camera/planetary camera later on when you need a guide scope connected to an EQ mount for long exposure AP.
Ps....keep it quiet...there are TWO on Ice trades at the moment, one mono for $275 and one colour for $250.....just wish I had the cash to buy the colour one myself.....damn it......keep in mind that the mono one will need a filter wheel and filters to make colour images, so go the colour one if you want a bargain.....$129 off is a good saving!
Cheers
Chris
