Hey Ed,

>From my understanding of telescopes, light pollution, ccd's and your
situation; I would suggest you keep your 8" and improve your imager. I'm not
sure if a bigger scope will help you much.

Have you outgrown the 416? I don't know enough about ccd's to recommend one
to you, but remember: patience is a virtue. I'm hoping that with the rapid
influx of digital cameras for the mass market, us astrophotographers will
reap the benefits of improved technology along with lower prices. I know, I
know, call me an idiot but I can still dream.

Alan
