Merlin66 Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 I replaced my DSI with the QHY5 and use it on the ST80; works as advertised!A good s/h DSI II would be a worthwhile alternative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brendant Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Hard to fault the QHY5, large chip so always lots of guide stars available, works well with PHD, and can turn to a spot of planetary imaging at a push.Brendan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz1969 Posted March 23, 2009 Author Share Posted March 23, 2009 Thankyou Brendon, I think iam sold on the QHY5. Its bang on buget and i thought it looked good but just wanted to check with others first before spending my hard earned!Daz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
