Scratching the Imaging Itch

I'm really getting the itch to do solar system object imaging but I'm a complete neophyte.

I see a lot of people use the DMK series of cameras but I've no idea what else is needed for a complete setup/configuration.

Anybody care to share with me or point to a thread for solar system imaging 101?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Jeff, For beginners, I would recommend a used Philips ToUCam 840 (color web-cam). All you need to start is the camera and Registax 5 (freeware). If the itch develops into a full blown rash, then you can get one of the high end monochrome cameras with RGB filters, filter wheel or selector and more sophisticated software.
