The QSI 683wsg-8 looks a popular choice which I have pencilled in as my current favourite.
Thoughts welcome for or against.

Hi Dave,
I have the QASI583wsg and like it so much I bought the QSI 683wsg8. Same ccd but better cooling and quicker downloads. It is a fair bit bigger and slightly heavier due to the 8 position filterwheel. Newer ccd chips have lower noise but they also have smaller chip area. So smaller view of the sky with the same telescope setup. Bigger ccd pixels also give deeper well depth. Choice is yours!
Best of luck.
Derek
