Astrohankster

Well, I ended up getting the Uranus-C Pro (Player One's cooled IMX585) and I just had first light with it last night. It was my first time using N.I.N.A. as well as an astrocam for deep sky so it was a learning experience. Samyang 135mm f/2 @ f/2 Player One Uranus-C Pro Skywatcher Star Adventurer 2i SVBONY 1.25" UV-IR Cut Filter Gain 210 Offset 20 301x20s Exposures (only about 1hr 40 mins, needs more time) 20 Darks, Flats (potentially bad flats), and Dark Flats. Stacked in DeepSkyStacker and Processed in SiriL and GIMP. A couple of things I notice: 1.) The stars are too prominent; I had a problem with the starnet function in SiriL and it created weird artifacts when I removed the stars. 2.) I have some chromatic aberration in my image that wasn't visible, or at least noticeable, when this lens was used with my DSLR. If you would like to have a look at the stacked TIFF, this is the link to the file in Google Drive: https://drive.google.com/file/d/111uddpZihvspcZAfwyy3hnZUc9_F377N/view?usp=drive_link Critiques are welcome and clear skies. EDIT: Forgot to mention; I don't have the a 12v power source for the cooler so this was UNCOOLED. N.I.N.A. put the temperatures at about 2-3* C during my time imaging.

In addition to the risingcam variant with cooling, PlayerOne has also released a cooled IMX585. Here is the official page for the Uranus-C Pro: https://player-one-astronomy.com/product/uranus-c-pro-usb3-0-color-camera-imx585/ I'm looking into getting a cooled camera, and this looks like a great starting point for me and likely many others.
