Thinking of upgrading my DSI II Pro Mono guiding chip- would a ZWO ASI120MM-S be good

Hi Folks,

I was considering upgrading my Meade DSI II Pro Mono guide camera as my primary imaging chip and wonder if the ZWO ASI 120MM-S camera might be a decent choice?

The Meade works well (with Maxim DL and Phd or PHD 2.5, but it won't work with TSX full (camera, mount, dome) edition - there are no ASCOM drivers for the DSI!

I currently use the Meade when I am guiding through a Giant Lumicon OAG on my C9.25 - when I can't find a guide star there I use a QHY 5II-L of a Williams Optics 98mm refractor piggy backed on a WO 110 FLT scope. The QHY is very sensitive - but sometimes its software is temperamental getting it to connect!

So a question or two about https://www.bintel.com.au/product/zw...-0-monochrome/

1. Is the ASI120MM-S a good mono imaging camera
2. Would it make a good choice for my gear?

Many thanks,

Matthew
