Hi All,

I currently use an unmodified canon 450D on a Skywatcher Explorer 150p and HEQ5 Pro. I also have a phillips SP900 I have not used in years. I'm thinking I would like a more dedicated CCD and see someone is selling an Orion Starshoot on AstroBuySell. Looking at reviews, specs etc, it seems the StarShoot would be an improvement for solar system over the SP900, but would it be any better than the SLR for deep sky? I am also tempted to try autoguiding and it seems like it would be a good solution for that.

So, planetary: improvement over SP900. Autoguiding: improvement over nothing at all. Deep sky: I don't know.

Can anyone advise? Are there any other options I should look for for a 'jack of all trades'?
