Thanks Paul
I tend to trust your judgement, I have seen that you have done some research into cameras.
Looking at solar Ha images on the Net, I haven't seen many that produce image quality in between what can be achieved by the Toucam and the DMK.
The LPI, NexImage, Starshoot, etc seem to perform similar or less than the toucam. Even DSI images aren't much diff if any from Toucam.
So, probably deciding between Toucam (to learn) or jump straight into the DMK - but already I have to buy a laptop + pcmcia.
I really like the DMK and I see the price for just the camera is good and with basic extras is still under $1000 (inc filter wheel an filters)
But I notice that you added an expensive filter setup.
At Telescopes-Astronomy, they offer an Atik 5 position filter wheel $199 & BaaderRGB IR filter set $180. Would this be suitable for solar imaging?
I think I would first be get the DMK but no filters (to be added later). So I'll be doing monochrome images and try my hand at colourizing.
But no rush for me, PST hasn't arrived yet.
