Bobby1970 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 I used to have the GPcam up until just recently. I have replaced/upgraded it with a ZWO ASI 178MC. I would say, based on my limited knowledge, the ZWO will be better. Theres loads of videos on youtube about the ZW0 120, some of the results are amazing. Looking at the specs it seems to me that the ZWO is more sensitive and has faster frame rate as its usb3. I'm sure someone with much more knowledge and experience will be along to confirm or refute my thoughts 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wimvb Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 (edited) Both cameras use the same sensor, as far as I know, sensitivity should be the same. But a usb 3 camera should be faster in sending images, hence a higher frame rate. You should also check which software supports either camera.
