Celestron Burst camera

[Eddieh]

Hi guys, 

it’s Eddie Horsley here. A new name tag as I can’t remember my old log in details. 
 Going to buy myself a cox 9.25 Celestron cat. 
 How’s the above camera with planets and the moon with such a scope. Or do I just go for the neximager 10 ?

  Cheers for reading and hope to read any replies soon

The Burst only has USB 2.0, which is rather slow. I do not know the Neximage 10, but it has really tiny pixels, so I would worry about well depth (leading to lower dynamic range). I personally have been using ZWO cameras for planetary and deep sky, and rather like them. The ASI178MM I have is great on solar imaging, and planetary imaging with a filterwheel. For one-shot colour planetary and lunar imaging I now use the ASI183MC (bigger chip, more expensive, and pretty decent on DSO imaging too). If planets are the main goal, the ASI224MC and several newer ones would be worth a look, as using 10 MP on planets doesn't really make sense. I use these cameras in my C8, as well as in an APM 80mm F/6 refractor, and a 6" F/5 Schmidt-Newton.
