ZWO 1600MM / ASI294MC example files

[AbsolutelyN]

Hi

I'm looking to move to a dedicated astro camera from my Sony A7r3 and am down to the ZWO 1600MM or ASI294MC cameras. I know there is a big difference between mono vs osc. Everyone says go mono but it's double the cost once you include filters.

Anyway I was wondering if there is anywhere I could find example files so I can take a better look at the actual raw output of the cameras? I've searched but can't find anything, though I have come across forum threads saying there are files out there you can process yourself.

Can anyone point me ion the right direction please? 

Many thanks!

Have a look on the ZWO forums (https://bbs.astronomy-imaging-camera.com/index.php?sid=5a987f72f39f3341845347f7c466bba6),  as there are lots of images posted

Mono is not double the cost of OSC. 

ASI294mc pro + Ha filter = £1200 ish 

ASI1600mm pro + Ha filter + LRGB + filter wheel = £1600 ish. 

So its 33% more expensive at best. 

Remember even the cheap LRGB ZWO filters will give you better performance than the Bayer matrix filters on the ASI294....you dont have to buy astrodons.

You're right. Sorry cost wise I was actually looking at package with LRGB + all 3 Narrowband and in 36mm as I'd like option to use on fast canon lenses (or faster scope in future)
