Hi Dassar

I recently acquired an Orion StarShoot Deep Space Colour CCD Imaging Camera. I also own an SBIG ST7E CCD camera.

In this case, you get what you pay for. I have only had the chance to use the Orion DSS once and have found that it is a budget camera compared to the more "scientific" ST7E.

I cannot provide any quantifiable data as I was only playing around with the Orion DSS on that one, partially cloudy night.

I have found that there is a steep learning curve with deep sky ccd imaging but don't let that put you off. It really tests your mount, your optics, your polar aligment, your set up, your patience and your bank account.

Cheers

Dennis
