I have an ASI094 which is the ASI version of the QHY367 and is the same sensor as a Nikon D810A.
If you’re not wanting to get too serious and not wanting to do narrowband at the moment I’d stick with a OSC. More than anything, they’re less fuss. Once you get everything even semi automated it makes little difference but if you want to go and shoot for a couple of hours periodically, OSC is the way to go.

The ASI1600MC is good but the ASI071 is better in virtually every way. ASI might have a 24 MP full frame, can’t remember. The QHY367 is probably the best astro FF OSC on the market at the moment.
Thanks, Colin. You have persuaded me to maybe save up for the QHY367. ( believe the QHY12 is also very good?) Failing that, the ASI071 may be a cheaper alternative.

Meanwhile, back to some imaging with the D850.

Cheers,
Richard
