hi,

The LX90 probably comes with the LPI, which is a nice cam for planets and moon. If you already
have a 350D, I wouldn't bother with the DSI, unless you need an autoguider. The 350D is a nice
camera for deepsky, make sure you have the remote control (RC-1 for example) to allow longer
than 30s exposures.
