I have the Orion. There's quite a bit of dark current, but if you take a dark frame first the problem pretty much disappears. Camera is very sensitive with a nice big chip. Using a 70mm refractor as a guidescope there are always suitable guidestars in the FOV. Same story with an OAG on a 4" refractor. I'd recommend it.
