Thanks Paul. In terms of the QHY9 camera I might ask this question on the QHY Forums and speak with the local OZ distributor.

Any other suggestions from anyone regarding a camera that will give good results superior to OSC or a DSLR with 5-10 minutes subs and 45 minutes per LRGB channel with a budget $2,500k budget?

I guess my other option is to be on the look out for a second hand unit as well.


Thanks,
