Thanks.....Fellow astronomer here, but old school....(film) thinking of moving to the digital age.

It varies which scope I use.

This was AstroTech Ritchey Chreiten 12" F8
Mount Losmandy Titan
Camera SBIG ST8300M LRGB filters
CCD Soft for acquisition
CCD Stack to combine images
Photoshop CS5 for processing.

6 hours total exposure.

I'm actually talking to a company in China to have them make some cameras for me. If you are interested in a sample version they will run about $700 for a 6 MP camera which is about half of current cost. I hope to have them make a 16 MP for about $4k which is way cheap.
