The biggest question is whether you go for an AV camera or USB. AV cameras are great for broadcasts directly into a TV or projector and hence useful for outreach, but suffer from low resolution. USB cameras require a computer to view so add some complexity to the process but ultimately give far better resolution views.

Use this tool to match the camera to your scope, The ZW Optical ASI178M looks like a good fit for your focal length.
Hi Jonathan, thanks for your reply. I ended up going for the ZWO ASI 290MC Colour Camera mate. Bintel was having a Boxing Day special. Fingers crossed mate.


Cheers
