New ASI 482MC / 485MC - Do I Sell My ASI 178MM and go OSC?

[Ags]

Still thinking about this. The larger sensor of the ASI485MC would certainly be useful for EEA, although I am not sure how good a color camera is for EEA in general. 

I suppose the real answer is I will buy the mirrorless camera and the 485MC eventually.

I wish there was information about the amp glow on the 485MC - there is no information on the from ZWO.

ASI178MM sold. ASI485MC incoming!

Still convinced my pictures will be twice as good as the camera captures twice the light! 🤣

First light... Canis Minor, Baader UH C-S filter.

That's one cute canis - even if it is a minor one

How do you like the camera?

[Ags]

Very nice, some sofware teething problems last night but it is very sensitive. Dark frames show very little "amp" glow. I need to buy an IR cut filter, that's why doggy was imaged with the UHC-S - to cut the strong IR leak messing the colors. On the bright side, I expect it is a seviceable IR mono camera, which I will test on the Moon with my Wratten 29.
