Planet and ISS camera : QHY IMG132E or Canon 550e Modified

[sonof007]

Hi, 

I am digging out my old Planet Camera QHY IMG132E to have a go at some planets this year and the ISS. However I also have a Canon550 DSLR (Video capabilities and live view) and would like to know what would give better results.  Using SW200p Scope/EQ5 mount (RA motor) Cannot locate any latest software or Drivers for the QHY132E camera but I have it running on SharpCap2 which appears okay. not sure of what Gamma, Red/Green/Blue settings be set on. 

I have a Pulsar Dome with Atik460 /ED80 Set up in Garden which have been using for past few years for Deep Sky Images but am a beginner at the planets. Also going to have a bash at the ISS once I have correct set up/camera on the go. any advice appreciated ref the two cameras above. Thanks in advance.  I know I could put the SW200 in my dome but this is all set up nice with the ED80 hence dug out the EQ5 mount.

not confident on this camera, not lot of info around, may opt with the Canon in live mode.

From what I've read, keeping the ISS in FOV is challenging, so the much larger FOV of the DSLR will help.

Not sure you'll capture more than a dot the with the FL of the ED80, could be wrong.
