Here's a couple of fresh links on dslr's related to astrophotography I found very helpful and informative.

$2,100.00US

Ka-ching alright. In 24 months it'll be obsolete, what gives. :crazy:

A cooled Canon 40D will be available within the next month or two - -keep an eye on www.centralds.net

Just doing a little research right now....Thought I might post a few things I find interesting, as I find them.

The 40da is still selling for around $1,400.00 new over here, with the hutech mod's that still puts it around $2000.00. I would like a camera to be multi-functional if at all possible. I can't really justify spending that much on a camera that I can't get good results out of when trying to use it on regular photography(birthdays, etc.)as well.

Also, after having just assessed how much I have invested in my 'hobby' (will post that in the forums here shortly.) I need to buckle down for a while, and log in some very serious quality time with my scopes.

Then there's Old Man Winter....That dirty !@#$%!!!!!
