DMK or DFK camera

Hi Everyone,

I have been studying the 1394imaging sight for DMK cameras.

The DMK that a well known Adelaide astronomer is using=DMK21AF04 mono. Which has similar specifications and sensitivity to the DFK21AF04 which as I understand can take both Mono and Colour Avis. The DFK is $20.00 US cheaper than the mono. Both cameras capture at the same fps and are 0.5 lux @ 1/30sec and 20dB.

To me the DFK can capture in both colour and mono. So can be used with filters or without filters. It could also capture at 30 fps without compression which toucams and neximage cannot do.

Can someone who knows more than I explain why the DFK is not used for imaging planets, because I cannot find a reason when looking at the specifications.

Thank you.
