Best Imaging Camera for 72mm Refractor

Hi guys,

Been a while since I posted here. Been having some dramas with my DSLR and the hot temps here in north QLD.

My question is around what the best imaging camera for a Skywatcher 72ed Evostar would be.

I've been looking at the ZWO 183MM or 1600MM as the 2 most suitable and closest to my budget.

I believe the 183's pixel size is more suited to my widefield FOV, however the 1600 would be a bit more future proof if i was to ever upgrade my scope and go bigger.

My mount is a HEQ5Pro so I wouldn't be going too much bigger. (maybe an 8 inch newt sometimes if i feel like a challenge..)

My main interest is in widefield currently, so using my refractor and the odd Canon camera lens.

Any input as to which you would prefer and why. Or if you have a different recommendation for a camera I'm all ears. (My one requirement is it must have cooling).

Thanks in advance.
