Guide Camera

Hi,

I am currently using a imaging source DBK21 USB original model. I do struggle with this camera using a long USB they do get buggy, also getting really good stars is an issue someimes and seeing has to be very good to use one.

I have seen the following unit on EBAY, the price seems very good. Not sure if anyone has had any experience with these as a guide camera and if it would be much of an upgrade.

Although it is advertised as a colour chip I do believe AR0130 is only mono. I have also read it is a very capable chip for this purpose.

Any feedback people can give me on this camera would be great as they range from this price to $170.

I have had great success and no issues on buying electronics from China, I have done so many times over the past few years so need no advice or recommendations on this. I am aware of the risks involved

Thanks

Carl
