asi 6200MC Pro (IMX 455)
ive had the 294 MC pro for many years and its nearing the end of its legs (its been back to ZWO once already for an electrical fault)
My main use of a camera is almost entirely EAA and Planetary. And always OSC.
The scopes I would use it on are a C11 (f10,F2, F6.3), Tak FS60Q (F10, F6, F4.4), ES102 (f7)
While there are cheaper options with smaller sensors, I figured if money was no object, this would make a good all round camera. I will outline my rationale below.
1. Large sensor, widest possible FoV
2. Can Bin to lower sampling
3. Can Select ROI for planetary and faster frame rates
4. 3.76 pixel size not too bad for planetary
5. Zero amp glow and much more sensitive compared with my 294
I live in the tropics so cooled is always an advantage, despite the short exposures.
I can't see myself ever going mono.
your thoughts would be appreciated, might have missed Santas express post already!
Cheers
