OK, in that case the 1600MC-c sounds the better option. It has way more control within the software, is a lot 'faster' than a DSLR and being cooled, far less noise. That was my other option for ease of use and speed but with the Ob and now being retired I have time to play.
You will need to manage more power for the cooler but I find once it has reached operating temp ( I run at 0*) it is using minimal current, maybe 100-200 milliamps.
You will love the software options the software and camera gives you. I often use the ROI box to select solar areas of interest rather than run full frame or having to readjust the scope alignment. Needs a powered hub and good USB cables or keep them short.

After weighing up all the options, and speaking to the finance department, I was encouraged to get the mono. So mono ordered with the 8 slot wheel now, can't wait!
What software do you recommend? At the moment I'm inclining towards SGPro, but find it extremely difficult to configure/use. Maybe it'll make more sense to me when I get everything rigged up and connected - hopefully anyway.
