You are absolutely right about getting better results requiring more effort. I think by sticking with a one shot colour camera and ignoring narrowband imaging for the moment I'll get a much better idea of what I'm up against at my location as well as what targets are worth going for in the future. I've still got a lot to do... setup guiding and get it working reliably...build a pier...shift all the gear out of the granny flat into my new shed...setup the umbilical cord to the pier...decide what I like most and what I'll need to do it. By the time I've finished all that it will be 2012 and there will be a bunch of new cameras out (maybe) to choose from. Looked at the specs for the QHY8PRO (weighs 425g) which uses a ICX413AQ chip and it has a “PEAK QE” (??) of 60% green, 50% red/blue and H.a. Not sure how that works as the spec sheet seem to indicate it's better than that (see attached jpeg).
Amp glow would kill the deal though. Haven't heard any reports from qhy8pro users yet but will look around. Not sure how much glow would exist at -15/-20C as lowering the temp usually minimises the glow substantially.
