One advantage the MRK-I has, is its only 55mm length as apposed to 110mm. Im not sure if it includes the fan, but its not much if not anyway..

The biggest advantage, and what i like with the MRK-I is that you can have only 1 glass filter in the light path, plus you can remove it and clean the sensor as a DSLR.
But waiting for the next model is not the right way to go. When do you purchase ?, theres a new model all the time. As we speak, theres probably a MRK-III being pondered..or a MRK-IV, who knows.


The temp regulation will be external to keep noise down. The MRK-II has a built in Temp sensor that sends the data to the controller and computer (If connected), which then sends the corrections back to the camera for the temperature to be maintaned.

I must be one of the finicky ones. I tried the QHY8 in its present form and what put me off was the naked chip and the clumsy drying mechanism involved. Sorry I saw that as a design flaw compared to other cameras. However this new incarnation is exactly what I wanted. Ill be one of the first cabs off the rank when they come out.
Regards, Allan
