Trying to decide if I should get the DMK or get a Toucam with the same black and white chip as the DMK I know it wont capture as many frames but it might be a cheaper option to learn LRGB imaging.
I must say there is a wealth of information tucked away in the site under the site menu, great job for us newcomers.
I have just upgraded to a C11 from a 8 inch newt and have been using a Neximage for the last 6 months.
Looking forward to posting some pics if the clouds ever clear.

Hi Trevor.
There's an ever-increasing number of DMK users because it's a great mid-range camera for people who want to get serious about their solar system imaging.
You really should get the DMK rather than stick another chip in the ToUcam. Reasons are:
1) Lower noise
2) Faster framerate
3) Uncompressed data
The ToUcam may be a bit cheaper, but by the time you add in a filter wheel + filters, going to RGB imaging is an expensive exercise anyway - so you may as well do it properly the first time.
The NexImage is a good entry level camera, but it still a step behind the ToUcam 900nc. However if you're looking to upgrade, the DMK is the definite next step.
Keep asking questions!
