I'm not a total beginner. I have used a ToUcam, a Nikon Coolpix4500 and a Mallincam Hyper Plus
http://mallincam.tripod.com/. to take photos with my 12" LX200 using a field de-rotator and recently with an Ultrawedge.
My main concern is my ability to process the RAW images that a DSLR and QHY8 will deliver. I guess I could start out with BMP's until I learn how to process the RAW files.
What the heck. I will ring the QHY8 guy as soon as Mr Rudd sends me my Christmas bonus.
Thanks
