I really like the fact that I don't need to spend so much time taking darks...just for comparison here is an image of the same set of objects taken last year June I think -same scope but with my modded 300D-at ISO 1600- and 2 hours and 10 minutes of exposure (10 minute subs)-with an astronomik 13 nm filter . In many ways not a like for like comparison but maybe indicative
The DSLR is a little bit less sensitive I feel and a heck of a lot harder to process the DSLR images because of intrinsic noise
on the other hand more cables and stuff with the QHY and need AC power for the camera-my canon usually ran off a battery especially if I went anywhere with it. The QHY is heavier and much more expensive of course
