Ive been quite impressed with the latest digital cameras. Frame stacking with Desire or registax sounds quite appealing.

The light quality where i am is very poor indeed so i would need to build a radio telescope or a very very large optical telescope with a lot of computational processing in order to get anything worthwhile image wise. A 3 meter dish, something like that anyway.
