Welcome Chris, getting a proper mono CCD will give you a huge improvement in quality and a shrinkage of your bank account also.

Well that goes for this hobby in general John along with a deterioration of the weather every time a new investment is made.

Welcome Chris...
Glad to see you on here - I know what you mean about the Kodak chip - I am saving up for one myself at the moment - As I have 1.25" filters as well at the moment, I am going to be very interested to see how much cropping/vignetting I am going to get until I can afford to upgrade!
Don't forget Starlights version as well - the SXV-H18 - I am very biased on that side of things though, as the support is good and in the UK, which in my book can't be beaten.
Cheers,
Richie
