I ditched my ED refractor for a vintage lens

Seen those, and not sure how to "classify" them yet.

ASI178mc - £8.21 per mm2

ASI485mc - £5.59 per mm2

ASI183mc - £4.46 per mm2

ASI294mc - £2.69 per mm2

All of those can do planetary as well as DSO imaging, and size of camera contributes to speed of system.

Just for DSO imaging - Canon M200 is hard to beat, about the same price as ASI482/485 - £398 at B&H - it costs £1.19 per mm2

How would you say the Canon M200 would hold up against capturing Ha or would you just get it modified!?

The first mirrorless camera I ever tested for imaging was the original Canon EOS M. They are basically a Rebel camera made to look like a bar of soap I thought lol. Good for galaxies, globs, and reflection nebulae, but the stock Canon IR cut filter is too harsh for those faint nebulae I feel.

Basically £100 for an APS-C sensor, so a cheap galaxy cam

Probably on same level as other DSLRs so it's best modded for that I think.

Yes, that is quite cheap - and if modded - it's going to be very nice all around DSO camera, right?
