Interesting, i see it also has a collimation tool
I will install metaguide tonight and test it out with an old logitech webcam.

Good to hear. Do you have any issues with the frame rates at all?

Is the faster USB3.0 connection only an advantage for planetary imaging?
I agree the ASI body looks like it can dissipate heat better
