DBK21 camera?

[Crusader]

I'm looking at getting a planetary camera that's a step up from my NexImage. The DBK21 has been recommended as a value option.

I'm looking for a color camera that us easy to use, produces good images and doesn't require external power etc.

If the camera can handle DSO shots of around 10-20s it would be great. I'll be using it in my 8SE.

Any thoughts / other options I should look at?

I think the USB DBK should serve you well enough for planetary. Don't like your chances of any really nice DSO shots coming from it though..

DSO won't be a major concern. Just a quick snapshot attempt every now and again. The mount would be the major handicap in any case for long exposures.
