thanks for sharing the shots.
I didn't actually keep any of the images from the comparison. It was really only for my own curiosity.

If I remember, next night out I will save some of the images from both cameras in the ED80.

Until then I can describe the difference: (both with good focus and Astronomiks IR/UV filter) The DSI made even very small stars into large pixelated crosses and other shapes. Large stars became enormous odd shapes or blobs.

The Toucam gave nice fine small stars and large stars were a bit blobby but atleast they were round. But took a lot longer to capture the same amount of light (inducing Amp Glow).

These explanations are what was on the monitor, and in the file after capture.
