Well now I'm super confused. Previous images I'd seen of the QHY294M Pro had shown it to have a filter port (CFW) and an USB3 port. Now the images I'm seeing only show the USB port.
No, an USB hub isn't worth $500 to me, I can chuck a $20 USB3 hub I already have here into the mix a hell of a lot cheaper (disability pensioner, not cheap mongrel).


I've done a lot of research and spoken with several people including the technical expert at Bintel and several Astro Imaging members of the astronomical society I'm a member of and they have all recommended the larger pixel size for my scope, not the ASI1600.
Being new to this aspect of A-I I figured it was best to listen to people with a lot of experience yet here everyone (who I'm still assuming have a lot of experience) are saying get the 1600 ZWO. Every bit of research I've done (going into a LOT of hours of research) seems to point to the larger pixel size of the 294, whether QHY or ZWO being better for imaging with my telescopes.


Maybe I should just spend my money on an old Honda CBR1000 and be content with the knowledge I can still ride it when it's raining or cloudy....
