Jean-Christophe Bayart’s Astronomy Site
I have recently come across the following really interesting astro-photography site:

Jean-Christophe Bayart is the site’s creator.
His web site presents a number of spectacular images, many of which were captured with The Imaging Source astronomy cameras. For example, there are several archives of planetary and lunar images.
Below is an example image of Mars, which was captured with a DMK 21AF04:

In addition, Jean-Christopher has published several articles, detailing the various methods of capturing and post-processing images. These guides are aimed at amateur astronomers, who are just starting out.

The Astronomy Cameras blog is very interesting. To fully appreciate the capability of the camera, the telescope size should be listed.
I have the DMK21AF04 for my relatively small Televue 4 inch telescope but when my equatorial mount arrives, I anticipate good results.
FYI for Mac users - the new MacBook has a Firewire 400 port.
