I started with the ol' QHY5 and an ST80 - worked OK.
Tried the DSI I/ DSI II for a while - very fiddly...
Then used the ATiK16ic (cooled) again this worked OK
I now use the Lodestar (mono) and find it, for an uncooled CCD, far more sensitive and works 110%.
All these options used with a beamsplitter on various Lx scopes, now using a C11 for spectroscopy.
(The ATik 16 makes a great electronic finder, when combined with a Zuiko 135mm telelens!)
