Russ, JJJ - Food for thought, with the RC8 u could do this adaption to allow for shooting at diff angles/times
http://astroanarchy.blogspot.com.au/...y9-camera.html to allow for getting back to the same camera angle.
If this guy can do these type of images with this i'm sure the rest of us can also.
What u have to ask is what do u want to image now vs what u may like down the track and how big a learning curve do u want as a challenge ?

The RC8 is pretty good too. Personally, I find it a hassle that I can't keep adding data to any photos I've taken through it. If I had a permanent set up, and don't move the camera between different images, it wouldn't be a problem.
