Which cam? (Last question before I buy)

[BritAngler]

Since I previously posted a similar question (which webcam), I've resigned myself to using me Nikon DSLR for DSO's, but for planetary AP have shortlisted these three. Despite reading the Choosing a CCD Camera thread I'm still at a loss as to which of these would be the best choice, so once again I bow down to the experts on this forum and crave your help....

In order of price.

This one is an updated version of the Philips SPC900NC

Slightly more expensive - this one can be used to guide as well as take photo's with the purchase of an adaptor

And a bit more expensive still (the QHY5L-II colour version (second one down at £169) - this one can be used to guide with no additional purchases needed)

I will be buying one of these very shortly, once I know which one to buy 

Until then, it's New Years Eve, it's cloudy (nothing new there then) and I have a bottle of Napoleon Brandy to open. Happy New Year everyone

Celestro Nextimage 5 is the best for lunar and planetary.

Will have a look at that one, many thanks

Hi,

I have the first one, I bought it from 365 last Feb or March. have upgraded to ASI120 MM, ,PM me if you want to get one to learn the robes with. I did some Moon shots with it and it is fine, it is also USB2 that the original SPC was not.

Regards,
