Hi Peter,

What model and year Benz is that ??

As mentioned I am only just starting out investigating at this stage. So just as I started out with my "Datsun" and "Holden" model scopes I am hoping to get some balanced advice and start off with a unit to get a feel for if Astrophotography will be a major thing for me.

The SBIG may well be a great unit for me further down the track unless I can get a 6MP single shot colour for a reasonable price. Not sure of a 4MP unit though especially if it has had a couple of issues.

One point though is the SBIG uses a Kodak sensor. How do these compare to the Sony SuperHAD's?? Is there a major benefit over one or the other?


Cheers

SBIG are running-out Class X KAF-11002 sensors for about $A $9600...sure big money, but given the $A falls off a cliff all too often, this is is about $4000 less than they normally cost....and very worthy of what you are running.
