Thanks for the info Allen, it's looking like the DSLR might be the go after all
I have no worries about modding them, I have done a lot of extreme mods to DSLR's
So it pretty much comes down to:
QHY8L,
Canon APS-C cameras (450D,40D,1100D etc..)
Or if I go 2nd hand (no problem as I'll be modding anyway) I could go with a low noise FF camera like the 5D or 6D. These have the advantage of being great for nightscapes and such as well.
I'm sure the QHY8L would be able to walk over the Canon APS cameras without cooling, but what about a modded 6D? I'm guessing it would make a pretty impressive astro camera, great QE as well.
What do you reckon? Of cause it looks like I'd have to use some sort of corrector, thinking about a Baader MPCC, or RCC, or the SW 0.9 Coma Corrector.
Cheers
