Hi all, i'm new to this forum and firstly just wow i'm blown away by how pleasantly different opinions are presented here.
I've spend some time on the cloudy nights forum and that just turns into a 'i'm right, you're wrong thread'.
I have a Celestron Edge HD and a william optics z73 and currently image with a modded canon 750D. I have bortle 4 skies. My biggest issue is noise and I have looked for months into a cooled dedicated camera.
Having seen results on the UK cloud magnets facebook page, I'm torn between the ASI 294MC, the 183MC and the 1600MM. I live on the coast and I have had 3 clear nights since June, and perhaps 6-7 since April/May.
As opportunity to image is limited and I like to be able to image one night then process and see results the next few days I am leaning towards the 294 and a dual/tri band filter.
I always see the argument of time to gather data as mono is at least three times the sequences e.g RGB, or Ha,O,SI, however does the increased sensitivity mean that you can take 3 times less frames?
I'm also just starting to get my head around pixinsight and worry that mono processing would be a step to far at this stage of my astro journey.
