Chuck, as a member of SLAS you have free access to the club's loaner CCD camera. It's an SBIG ST-6 so it's pretty old but it works and would be a way to get into astro-imaging on a budget. patrick On 05 May 2010, at 19:48, Chuck Hards wrote:
Yep, that's the plan Rich, I think I mentioned it in this thread early-on. Still thinking about whether to go with a dedicated astro-camera or DSLR to start out with (I'm sure eventually it will be both). I'm not a big fan of taking a laptop out into the field, so the DSLR is the current favorite. Plus I can use it for things besides astro-imaging. We'll see which way the dice roll.

Hopefully there's a camera in the plans down the road so you can join the list of those contributing some wonderful images.
