M16 Eagle tonight 15/09. (DSI II vs 350D comparison)

G'day guys. Decided to image M16 again with abit longer exposure of 5 minutes x 10 at ISO 800. A good opportunity to compare M16 shots with my DSI II also. From what i can tell, heres a list of pro's and con's:

350D UNMODDED:

- The 350D has a much bigger FOV which can capture entire nebula's

- The 350D colours are nicer even from unmodded.

- Can take non-astro images and piggy back for widefield shots

- Smaller pixel size which makes images more sharper

DSI II:
- The DSI II captures more photon's than the unmodded 350D = more details even with lower subs

- The DSI II has lower noise than the 350D

- Smaller chip which means less coma than the 350D for fast ratio scopes.

So that's the comparsion from what i have seen. Both camera's have their pro's and con's.
