DMK USB2 21AF04.AS Monochrome Camera guiding in PHD

[merlinxlm]

Is it possible to use the DMK USB2 21AF04.AS Monochrome Camera guiding in PHD? I'm thinking of selling my QHY5 guide cam to buy one of these cameras, as I've bought a C9.25 OAT and I'd like to make the most of the Scope for planetary and lunar imaging. What sort of price do the QHY5 guide cams go for second hand, but in very good, clean condition?

Thank you.

I don't know if there is a reason for such change. QHY5 can do lunary and planetary imaging. DMK21 has smaller sensor and although it has less noise problems - will have some size-limitations when doing lunar imaging or looking for a guide star. And yes, DMK can be used for guiding with PHD. The USB camera will be listed under WDM cameras.

Yes no problem using as a guide camera. Have had some sensitivity issues, but with a decent guide star is OK.
