My choice in going for the ASI1600MM-Pro (over a one shot colour camera) was based on my location, the objects I like imaging and time available to image. I like taking pictures of nebula and being able to do this in narrowband (even just with an Ha filter) made the light pollution and the moon almost a non issue. As soon as the sky is clear (and the moon is not quite full and a little out of the way) I can get some nice 300s narrowband shots. Ha can be used to enhance an RGB image as well if you prefer more natural colours. RGB from my location seems to work best (i.e. less noise and gradients) when the moon is set and I take lots of short exposures, which I assume would be the same with the 071. When I do travel to dark skies I do wish I had something like the 071 but this is so rare for me. In regard to processing there are lots of guides to follow online. I always thought StarTools was very user friendly. ... oh and what Colin said :-)
