2400MC with the right scope is a photon bucket.

Whoops, I meant the 2600MC.

2400MC is definitely above my budget, on a par with the 2600MM with filters.

It produces a random red/green swirl pattern across the image, it's worse when using an OSC narrowband filter and fairly starkly seen once you do a background extraction. You don't even have to stretch it much to see it.

There's an extensive CN thread about it, in the end it's the sensor glass stuck directly on the sensor which causes it. The mono uses a different model sensor so doesn't suffer from it.

I've used at least half a dozen sensors, the 294mc takes the biscuit and should never have been released in my opinion.

Oh, I have read about that previously, but I didn't remember it was the 294mc. Thanks!
