So what made you go with this instead of say the asi1600 - sensor size alone or something else ?
Sorry for the delay in responding guys. I've been in hospital for a few days with the flu.

Chris, sensor size and price basically. I think the sensor size will suite the telescopes I have and for the small objects with the larger scopes. With 20mp I should be able to bin pixels with longer FL and still have a high res image if needed. I should also be able to do some planetary IR.

So many options, so many things to try with a mono. I can't stop thinking about it. Meanwhile, the camera has been stuck in customs in Brisbane since the 24th. What are they trying to do, breed it or something? Gimme my camera!
