Imaging camera

I need some help regarding upgrading from a DSLR to CCD camera.

Max £600 and a new mono camera.

I've been looking at these so far:

Atik Titan Mono Dual Purpose CCD Camera

ZWO ASI 290MM USB 3.0 Mono Camera

Altair Hypercam 178M USB3.0 Mono

Any more suggestions?

Thanks

Ron

Most of them are mainly guide cameras. One of the main benefits of a dedicated astro camera is set point cooling.

If your budget can stretch a little more I'd go for the zoo asi 178mm cool. Though the sensor in this, and all your suggested cameras are quite small meaning you'll have a very limited FOV. 

You'll also need to budget for a filter wheel and a set of filters which can easily double your required budget.

Thanks, already have the filters and a wheel. Just need the camera!!
