Those are certainly priceless.A couple of hundred quid, assuming I can get back 80%, will be a small price to pay for the return of more than 20 years of memories.

I cant find ANY form of shutter in my K10 or 20, I assume the sensor just switches on and off.
Is it getting late over there Peter
nope it has a shutter because switching the sensor on and off doesn't work. I cant find ANY form of shutter in my K10 or 20, I assume the sensor just switches on and off.

Use two second delay while not using a lens and you will see the shutter.
ps. a bit more explained.
Reading out those pixels takes time, so you need to cover them up because if you cut the voltage they will lose their information and if you don't cover them up the will keep on reading the light.

This is my latest photo - 35Mpx mosaic of Eta Cygni region in constellation Cygnus. 3rd bigger photo I took since 2008. Its 4 frame mosaic which contains 20 hours of H-alpha data and 12 hours of color, all combined together to create this multicolor image. It would be impossible to create this image without h-alpha filter. There is so many stars that all emission regions are hidden behind them.
Info:
Optics: Takahashi FSQ85ED, 450mm/F5
Camera: Canon EOS 400Dmod.
Mount: HEQ5
Filters: 7nm Baader H-alpha, Astronomic CLS
Exposure: 20 hours of H-alpha (4 fields, each +-5 hours), 12 hours of color (4 field, 3 hours each)
Processing: calibration in DSS/MaximDL, registration in Registar, stitching together, matching the colors - Adobe Photoshop)
Date: 2/2 of April and May (all clear nights)
Location: town: Cerveny Kostelec, state: Czech Republic, and you should know: Central Europe

Don't pithy me Hefty, like you said I'm sure more will come.
I'm now saving up for a K7, would like to have the video function before Christmas and such.
The same budget is also for lenses like these so will keep my eyes out for a good offer, if not the K7 will come sooner.

I find this one more beautiful though.
But what you're seeing here is only at 10% magnification or so, click on this link (little warning though it's a 23.67 MB jpg)
But when viewing the large version you see the difference.
ps. don't forget the Hubble is 19,5 years old right now, that's very old if you look at electronics.
Wait till the James Webb Space Telescope comes online at 2014, hopefully we will all be pleasantly shocked.

One UK forum-member has done successful and pleasant business with them link
They aren't the cheapest with everything compared to SRS, sometimes SRS is cheaper but some lenses are quite a bit cheaper compared to the UK.
The DA*50-135 and the DA*55 are such examples, and quite worth the hassle of ordering abroad.
If someone is interested I can ask the member how much the shipping costs were for his DA*50-135.
They also still have a FA 50mm F1.4 for € 299,00 = £275
