Hi Peter,

As far as I know, the camera you mentioned has a CMOS chip, not CCD.

Also, this camera has tiny pixels - might not be ideal with a large dobsonian, unless you have very accurate tracking or are aiming for planetary imaging with sub-second exposures.

Have you considered DSLR? For the same price you will get a MUCH larger and thus versatile chip.

Otherwise, perhaps a second hand CCD but with larger pixels, like Orion G3 or similar?

Sincerely
Slawomir
