Which is the better guide Cam?

[Earl]

A Qhy6 or DMK21 Mono?

[Earl]

I am thinking the DMK is the better options as its good for luna and planetary, although it does lack the ST4 port ( i dont guide that way anyhow).

the QHY could go into the pot for an atik

I think the QHY would be more flexible with regards to autoguiding software. I have used my DMK with PHD but it a bit of a faff.

humm not what i wanted to hear LOL, but thanks, why was the DMK a pain?

I use a DMK with maxim DL no probs.

Dont get me wrong - it works! The problem with PHD anyway, is that you cannot set the exposure from within the app. You open the camera control window, change it from there, then in PHD you need to set it to match. I worked fine but it's an extra step.

ah ok, so not a game stopper

One more thing to go wrong though!
