Any difference in sensitivity from ASI294MC Pro and ASI1600

[Skyline]

Hi there,

Just as the title says. Is there any increase of sensitivity between the two cameras even though both are using cmos sensors.

I'm just wandering as my desire is slowly thinking about going from a OSC cmos to mono. The bug had got me again...

Would I go back to ccd or cmos mono I am still pondering over.

I was thinking of investing in a Atik 383L+ if funds permit or an ASI1600MM Pro.

But also I would need to check if both cameras have suitable sampling rate with the scopes I am going to use, primarily with a 80ED, 100ED and a 130PDS.

Your thoughts are welcome.

AFAIK the ASI1600MM-Cool is a better camera than the Atik 383L+ with lower noise.  The 383 is a very old camera now I gather.

Thanks for your input Gina, I know the 383L+ is an older camera now, but it has a good chip and the Artimis software is much nicer to use then APT. The only downside to it is the 8300 Kodak chip is meant to be discontinued soon.

I know in the price of the Atik I can buy the 1600 with filters and a filter wheel.

Also how much would I be able to sell my ASI294MC pro for?

Nadeem.
