I have the mono camera and it is quite good with 2 stage cooling. Downloads are not super fast...

Hey thanx Peter, I did see these the other day & you have nudge me to take another look, Im quite impressed with the cooling which I consider as quite a large factor, speshly with summer nights! Ive been reading that the 'Dark Current' is halved every 5-6degs cooler, this also must reduce other noises ? DSLR's are hopeless on summer nights
I quite like the looks of the SIPS Software package too, each control window in a seperate Tab, infact, this Moravian CCD web page is the only one ive seen with 'screen snips of the software control, which is very thoughtfull & helpful
I'm actually quite liking this Moravian instrument Easy to purchase too, as I have delt with the Astroshop up here before, and is quite good.
Tho I need to find a bit more about them when I find the time , ,
Thanx again for your input Peter
