I forgot to mention that Im looking mainly for doing Ha from suburbs. I could be under dark sky about one week in a month, so I won't be doing lrgb often. Mainly doing Ha and narrowband and time to time trip to do some HaLrgb. Big cons in Poland where I live, is weather. Rainy summer makes Cmos cameras really good option due to low redout noise. But overall time for exposure should be the same as CCD right? Atik 460ex looks really nice but his but his well copare to kaf 8300 is "swallow". I have chance to buy Atik 383l M for 900£ thats why I created this thread.

Thanks for anwser. So what are other "better" options except Asi? I did research but on 4/3 mono I saw only those. There ale lot of smaller chip but reducing fov significantly

Hi. I'm thinking about choosing my first mono camera to my setup. Now I have HEQ5 belt mod and SW ED80 with flattener. I'm begginer,so 4/3" sensor is minimum due to FOV. I always want CCD but, they're quite expensive for me, so my only choice is second hand kaf8300 sensor. But friends told me that everyone use Zwo asi1600 now,and there is no point using kaf8300 now due to old chip. In compare to kaf8300, camera is quite new, and kaf8300 sensor is 10+ years old sensor. Also I could buy an 65Q/420mm refractor from my friend to have even greater FOV. But I wondering about which setup will be best. If Kaf8300 and ASI1600 is the same price when second hand, is worth buy a kaf8300 now? Or its too old and lots of second hand might be not work for so long. Also I listed setup list for every choice. I wondering only that if I wont be regreting choosing larger pixel due to final resoltion of detail. ED80 + Asi1600 - 1.54"/pixel ED80+ Kaf8300 - 2.18"/pixel 65Q + Asi1600 - 1.9"/pixel 65Q+ Kaf8300 - 2.65"/pixel
