Cornelius Varley Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 The ZWO ASI120MC-S at £191 or the mono version at £207 https://www.firstlightoptics.com/zwo-cameras/zwo-asi120mc-s-usb-3-colour-camera.html . ps it is wrong to call them webcams, these are dedicated astro imaging devices.

Cornelius Varley Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 If you use a mono camera you will also need to use a filter wheel and LRGB filters plus some extra processing to obtain the finished image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
