Thanks Dunk,
yeah, I'm just poking around at the moment...
Looking at the number of camera's I own in general...
I like the 1100d & thus far, have produced some reasonable beginner images. I have a Sony RX100 as well which I use for terrestrial photography & some wideview astro shots...
Mainly looking at the micro 4/3's to replace both & have one small, lightweight, flexible camera that can cover both duties...
I also have a ZWO ASI224mc & recently acquired an Orion SSAG (mono) as part of a bundle of gear that was quite cheap... Have managed to configure Sharpcap to run the Orion for imaging (yes I know it's a guide camera) but, haven't had an opportunity to see if it can do imaging
Will be looking secondhand... but, being able to shoot remote
& control the camera, along with live view off a laptop at least (& hopefully a tablet) is a must.. Can do this with the 1100d so, unless something cheap & useful pops up, it won't be going anywhere...
Cheers

Can’t speak to the abilities of any of the interchangeable lens varieties though, but the APS-C sensors, like in the 1100D are only about 25% wider, and not a lot taller. You’d need to consult the vendor specs to check on tethering ability.
Don’t discount the 1100D if you’re most interested in OSC...it’s quite a capable camera in its own right (given cost, etc), even if it’s not the latest and greatest.
