As far as I can tell there is no QHY367M at this time. There is the QHY367C, at around $5500 AUD (without GST), but there are plenty of lower cost OSCs. Do your really need full frame sensor at this time? Full frame in Mono is going to be expensive compared to the APS-C and 4/3rds sizes.

The ASi1600MM-C is a good place to start with mono imaging as there is just so much known about these cameras now. Shiraz's excellent exposure charts are one example.

It should be noted that Bintel has the ASi1600MM-C on sale at the moment for $1699 with free shipping.

For OSC, the ASI071C is also available for $1999 from Bintel (with the SONY IMX071 APS-C 14-bit sensor). For people on a budget, and who can work without cooling, there are some good DSLRs, offering excellent sensor specs, for less than $1k, like the Nikon D5300.

It really depends on where you want to start.
