So I finally took the plunge and got a cooled CMOS - Altair Astra Hyeprcam 269c. This is my first non DSLR camera so lots to learn.

But all in I am delighted with the camera (where has all the noise gone????)and relatively pleased with the image. Its with the l-enhance so I'll take a go at bi-colour in the next few days

SW 80ED, Hypercam 269c, NEQ6, L-eNhance

100 X180s

stacked in APP processed in PI,

C&C very welcome as I need any pointers relative to using and processing a CMOS.

Use the camera at a constant temperature and gain setting. This will make calibration and stacking easier.
