hi robin any joy with the asi 1600 camera,is it colour or mono you are testing regards ian

10" F5 Newt. The M81 was bin 2x2 and cropped too. This is the uncropped version direct out of SharpCap - still bin 2x2.
I have an astro-modified DSLR (Canon 600D). If you were planning on getting the uncooled colour version I'd say probably not to bother - it's going to be very similar to your DSLR. Cooled colour should be a step up same for mono in either cooled or uncooled (providing you are prepared to go mono - filters etc).
There are better imagers than me out there testing this camera, so I'd hang on a bit to see what they report.
cheers,
Robin

Didn't even know this part of the site existed!
Mono camera, cooled. I had one try out with it last night, but it wasn't ideal conditions - bright moon, not properly dark and I'd changed pretty much everything in my setup except the mount so lots of recalibration and tweaking to do. I got a decent moon and M81, but I don't think I was getting anywhere near the capabilities of the camera. You can see the images I captured on the SharpCap facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/sharpcap/
