Camera recomendations for solar (Ha) and planetary imaging

Recommended Posts

What would be a good mono (video) camera that can accommodate a filter wheel and be excellent for both H-alpha solar imaging and planetary imaging?

The scopes I have are LX200 10" (hopefully OK for planets) and a Televue 85 fitted with a (pre-Meade) Coronado SolarMax 60 (60mm etalon) and a Lunt B1200 blocking filter for the H-alpha stuff.

Both scopes are mounted piggyback and are in my new dome obs. I've done 12 years of DSO and comet imaging so I'm pretty new to solar/planetary though I did try DLSR with H-alpha for a couple of years and really do know the severe limitations with that set up.

Pros and cons for the camera suggestions welcome. I have a reasonable budget for a camera and filters.
