[QUOTE=raymo;1528353]The only drawback with DSLRs is the slower frame rate reduces the opportunities to get those lucky frames.

Raymo,
I only dabble in planetary so the DSLR is not a drawback for me (might be for other folk who want more out of planetary) On nights of good seeing when the planets fairly stable you just sit and be patient on live view and wait until the planet stabilises then hit record. At only 30fps it works quite well taking only 1200 to 1500frames. I’ve taken 2000 to 3000 frame files like that and after stacking there no discernible difference. Plus my scopes are toys compared to the likes of a C11 edge which most of the planetary guys use.
I’ve seen some planetary images of Jerry Lodriguss using his DSLR and they are top of the shelf stuff comparing to planetary cmos camera images.
Cheers
Martin
