Thanks Ross - the QHY8L was probably one of the best purchases I've made. It was a camera I could afford and catapulted my images into the realm of acceptability. The Pentax Km was a good terrestrial camera but almost unusable for astrophotography.
As for the processing, again one of the best purchases I made in this regard was StarTools. Here was a dedicated astrophotography processing package I could easily afford and it really shortened my learning curve.
Cheers,
Mario
PS Just for interest sake, attached is a picture of me at the control centre taken by the Pentax last Thursday night - the Km still lives on. As a matter of note, this picture was taken at about 10 at night - note how bright the sky is from a 10s photo!!!
