Hello Folks
Using an uncooled Canon EOS60Da with an ambient temperature of 25-30 degrees
is a frustrating exercise.
So I have been looking for a cooled OSC camera with large pixels.
I control capture with nebulosity and always et 2*2 binning as the 'scope focal length is 2415 mm.


The camera which seems to me to be the best suited, at a reasonable price, is the QHY8l with its 7.8 micron square pixels. This camera offers 2*2 & 3*3 binning.


Unbninned I would have .67 arc seconds/pixel.


Thoughts,alternative suggestions.


Chris
