Old dog trying to learn about new cameras 😂
So, back in the long long ago when I used to tinker with Astrophotography we used dslr’s with the occasional adventurous person adding a peltier cooling system to it.
Now we seem to have a plethora of cooled and uncooled dedicated Astro cams.
I’m using ASIAIR so I’m somewhat limited in modernisation. I understand the benefits of cooled cams with regards to building a darks/flats/bias frame library, however I’m trying to convince myself to spend the money on a cooled cam vs uncooled. Am I going to see significantly better image quality using an ASI533MCpro with the IMX533 sensor versus the ASI585MC with the IMX585 sensor?
They are both osc cameras with a tonne of positive reviews for deep space use. I’d be using it with a refractor targeting nebula mostly. Using some narrow band for longer projects. People seems to rave about the non cooled IMX585 sensor but I worry that it won’t do its best with our ridiculously warm summer nights.
