And how can you compare the 2. The qhy8 is 16 bit and vitually noise free ... You can stretch the images to tomorrow and back.

Central DS website quotes camera+cooler weight as 1020g. Not too sure how accurate that is - cooler unit must only weigh around 300-400g for that figure to be accurate
But Robin I have to concede that with the high ambient imaging temperatures I experienced last week, an ultra-cooled CCD does seem very appealing. My SMC had lots of blue and red smaller stars - not pretty.
