Yeah, the 224MC is mainly a planetary camera but I do find it useful for smaller DSO compared to a DSLR, adding either the UV/IR cut or L-Pro filter depending where I am & how dark it is. I actually haven't got around to imaging with just the cut filter from here in town yet - the moon is always there. I am saving for a 533MC Pro with a sensor size in between the 224MC & DSLR then maybe a larger sensor later, after a new mount!

Mark,
All sounds good to me
The 533MC is a great camera too
You just have to check your FOV and image scale with your scopes
If I can give you a strong recommendation for a mount upgrade ( up to 15kg AP payload ) you can’t go past the EQ6-R pro ( I’ve owned 2 off them for nearly 3 years now ). IMO the best 20kg class mount in the world under $3K
Hope we all get some clear nights
Cheers
Martin
