Hi Mike
yes I understand that a LPI is not a good DSI ...
Ive been advised not to walk before I can run and spending on a QHY8 just now might be inadvisable (sorry Gama!)
so ... I was looking for a camera that will allow me to cut my teeth on imaging using my 12" SCT by imaging planets etc and then use it as a guider.
If the guider wont image DSO then I guess Ill be moving up fairly quickly!
I was trying to resuse and avoid then selling something that could be pressed into service as a guider
I was looking at the QHY5 colour version as an intermediate step
Its a bit of a mine field for imaging I see
even at the lower end!!!
