QHY 132e

[lensman57]

Hi,

I am thinking of putting an order in for a QHY 132e, has anybody used this camera or one of the OPTICATAR ones and what do you advise? I have a Skywatcher Synscan 127 GOTO, 2.5X ED barlow and a selection of EPs.

What are you planning to use it for?

What are you planning to use it for?

I am mostly interested in the moon , Jupiter and Saturn if I could get to it, Manchestre weather is not great at teh best of times.

I'm not very impressed with mine (see my ongoing issues here: http://stargazerslou...t/#entry1816977). Get a DFK 21AU618.AS if you can stretch to it.

Thank you for your advice, will have to wait a bit for that kind of outlay. Will practice with the XBox webcam first and then consider the DFK.

Thought I had seen a thread about the cam somewhere !! You can't go wrong with a DFK21 and the new ASI120MC cams look interesting.

Moon like mono cameras (Sun too).

Hi,

Thanks for the info, do you know a supplier in the UK for the ASI camera?

They don't have a UK supplier. This is their website though.

As I mentioned on another thread, I think I might have written off my IMG132e too soon. Last night I managed some of my best images with it yet. c. 2400 frames stacked from 3000 frames. 250mm f/4.7 Newtonian + 3x Televue Barlow. So maybe it does have potential after all.
