I am seriously considering upgrading from a Canon 450d to a full blown ccd. I currently use a C11 at f6.3 and a Megrez 72 for my imaging work.
I would like to go for a mono camera as I know I will want to upgrade from a one shot color eventually. :D
The Sbig 8300 , Atik 383 and Qhy9 all use the same Kodak 8.3 MP chip but there is a big difference in price. Would these cameras suit my imaging gear? The Qhy9 looks like great value but I guess you get what you pay for. Any recommendations or other camera suggestions? These are all at the limit of my budget and then there is the filter wheel and filters etc......
