But this new and remarkably-sensitive imaging technology is seriously tempting me to get back into astro-imaging!

Thanks Robert. Using my every-day DSLR is a quick and simple way of getting some results, even though they're not in the same league as others who are using LRBG and fast astrographs. I have limited my exposures to 60 seconds for now since the scope is not guided.
The seeing here is usually fair at best, and clear-sky time is short, so for the moment I'm happy shooting a few easy targets. If you already have a DSLR, why not give it a go?
