DSI Pro vs DSLR - which one

[lineout]

Apologies of this has been covered before but I was wondering which is better for astro-photography, a DSLR or Meade DSI Pro.

I currently use a Canon EOS 10D.

Cheers

I'd stick with the 10D and read up on some tutorials or books on processing astro image files.
The 10D is a great camera and was at the forefront of the DSLR astro imaging revolution.

I would say a digital SLR for a short focal length refractor - it has a large chip compared to the DSI, and refractors with field flatteners give excellent large flat image circles.

For a long focal length SC I would say the DSI, but then again you are chasing two different targets with each of these two setups I listed.
