I now have a serious astro-ccd camera - the SXV-H9C. There are a couple of pictures from the new camera in this album, M76, the Little Dumbell, and NGC2392, the Eskimo.
My next target will be NGC6905 and, if I can get to it, NGC6543 - the cat's eye.
My equipment
Celestron Nexstar 11GPS (11" SCT)
Meade 4.5" Newtonian reflector
Ancient Tasco 60mm red refractor for guiding
SXV-H9C from Starlight Xpress SAC7B from SAC imaging (now being used as a guide cam)
SAC9 from SAC imaging
Nikon Coolpix 990 (sadly now defunct)
Capture/Processing:
Maxim DL Astrovideo for SAC7B/SAC9 capture
Registax3 for aligning and stacking solar system objects
IRIS 4.35 and 5.12 for most processing tasks
PaintShopPro5 for post processing
