Hi Mark,
I'm glad you are inspired!
Now for DSLR vs CCD, I'm not going to open that can of worms here....
I had a Canon DSLR before I started astroimaging. When I got my first scope I connected to it and results were pleasing and have stuck with it.
Regards,
Dale

Hi Dale, That`s a very pretty image! I was going to refrain from commenting having no experience imaging DSOs yet but your results are very inspiring! Is there some reason you`re using a DSLR as opposed to CCDs for imaging? Is it a preference or do you find you get more satisfying results?Mark.
