I'm sold on the simplicity of the cooled 40D, but that increase in resolution is hard to ignore with the QHY9.
What worries me is the stuff Phil talked about - tilt of the sensor v's the type of lenses I use and availability of adapters to fit those lenses (Canon EF mount)
Phil: "The M54 thread on the QHY filter wheel is not that common.. I certainly could not find an adaptor to do the job and had to get one custom made (as well as reducing the thickness of the camera-filter wheel connector)."
Doesn't sound very "plug 'n play"!!
Anyone out there doing widefield lens based imaging with mono or colour QHY9 CCDs!!??
Or have I identified a gap in the market?
