You mean CMOS, CCD is older technology. The 224MC is a common and capable planetary camera. Your decision depends on your budget.
You don't really want a mono camera for planetary due to needing filters and to quickly swap them in quick succession to image all filters within the space of a few minutes (you've listed the 178mm).
Have you decided what software you're planning on using to control the camera?
Actually, I can afford all of the cameras on my list but I want to know the best value for money camera and considering the worthy upgrade from my current Canon 60D.
I haven't decided what software that will be used since I only used to use Canon software to control the 60D. Do you have any suggestion for that?
Thank you

Hello,
Please kindly help me to give suggestion related my plan to upgrade my camera. For the time being, I've used Canon 60D mainly for planetary imaging using video recording with Celestron CPC 1100 and some with Skywatcher BK100ED.
I'm planning to improve the imaging result by upgrading the camera to a more dedicated planetary camera (maybe a CCD camera) using the same scope. In my area, it's not very easy to get ccd camera, very limited option and most of them are ZWO. The current available ZWO series in my town are ZWO ASI120, 120MC, 178MM, 462MC, 178MC, 678MC, and 224MC. I'm considering the coloured camera/not a mono. Is there any worth camera upgrade for my current Canon 60D from the listed cameras above?
Thank you for the inputs.
Regards,
Dony

I will attach it to Celestron CPC 1100. Nice to know that ASI290MC works well for you. I'll play the simulator to get the idea of the FoV.
Thanks
