Dare I say, might go mono ? Both deep Sky & Planetary !
Tho, on reading 'stats' with the Zwo Asi Cams about lately, & the good references with the 1600mm in particular, I have read, thought & thunked about the 183mm pro mono ?
Could anyone help one to understand why the 1600 is the prefered camera ?
I dont see why, considering the 186 has a faster fps rate, more pixels, smaller pixels, better Qe, ROI: Supported, smaller chip, & $450 cheaper.
Down sides : 0.4e more read noise & 5ke less full well depth ?
Question : Does the advantage of 0.4e less read noise & extra 5ke well depth 'out-way' my other considerations ?
What are your thoughts, expertise & experiences ?
