Baz,
Within reason, most or all of the lunar and planetary cameras will be 1.25" anyway, and it just a matter of using the usual 2"-1.25" adaptor. For the same reason, my two "amplifiers" are PowerMates, 2.5x and 5x, both are 1.25".
To run the camera you have many choices. The Image Source series ship with their own proprietary software, as do Point Grey. The ASI120 series come with a more basic software package, but almost without exception all can run with the very excellent FireCapture software, free ware too. It works well with my Flea2, better to my mind that the genuine supplied software.
Processing is done with Registax.
My suggestion, ASI120, either in mono or colour, colour if you are happy to buy another mono camera later, no real hardship. For solar for example, mon is really the only choice, ditto for lunar.
