Hi Dave,
I own all Nikon accessories so am not too fussed about the back focus. Plus my next big purchase will be a Nikon D800, so not concerned about using the 8300 with SLR lenses

Greg,
Thank you alot for the informative post. I've heard alot about CCDSoft and wasn't aware it came with the SBIG 8300M, but its good to hear that the program will do all the automation for me. I use a ST80 with a webcam via GPUSB for guiding. I was thinking about going for SBIG, and after reading your post, it just confirmed that. So I think that's decided

I have considered all the other options, but for me those two brands is what it came down to. The other brands are just too expensive for me to justify, with the SBIG available for ~$2100 from optcorp (This includes shipping, conversion and GST duties). QHY was on my list but i'd be happy to spend the extra on knowing I have a SBIG in my outift

Do you know if I was to use say the 1.25" SX filter wheel, will there be vignetting?
