both good cams.

The 1600 will be best around 1m fl and the 183 will suit shorter fast scopes.

As Rick points out, on any given scope, the 183 will require ~twice as long to get to any given image quality due to smaller pixels. The 1600 will produce lower res images in really good seeing, but will have twice the field of view.

Agree with Glen that the reflection issue on the 1600 seems to be of minor practical significance - and the amp glow on the 183 is probably also of minor concern, with the possible exception of deep narrowband imaging, where it may leave some residual noise after flat processing.

the 1600 can do ROI at very high frame rates if need be (not as fast as the 183 though)

the 183 binned 2x2 could be an alternative to the icx694 based cameras - very similar overall specs at much lower cost.
