Yep,

Considering for the same money as an ATIK 314L you could get a QHY8L, I would go with the QHY8L.

From your signature, I see you are already a fan, so due to the fact it has 8 MP compared to the 1.45MP of the ATIK, you will get more value in the deal for the same money.

Arguably, the QHY8L is a damn fine camera, Peter was so kind to lend me his QHY8 (normal one, not the new slimline "red bull can" type one) and this was a doddle to get working and apart from my cruddy MPCC not being in the right spot and too much vignetting my scope introduced, was a lovely bit of gear.

I have also had my eye on the QHY8L and I dont think I could honestly buy the ATIK at the same price and lose out on all those extra pixels and monster FOV advantage....

Good luck and hope to see some pics with the new beast when you decide to get one (whichever you decide)

Cheers

Chris
