QHY5 or Trifid Nugget..?

[Darth_Muppet]

Looking for a better guide cam for my set up.

Been offered a few, whats the better guide cam to go for..?

A QHY5 at £159.00 (ish) or a Trifid Nugget at around £190..

I can't talk about the Trifid, but the QHY5 is quickly becoming the "industry standard" for guide cameras!

It's recognised by all the guide software packages.

(Edit) Just Googled the Trifid Nugget... seems to be an obsolete model ....no longer sold by OPT?

There doesn't appear to be a lot in it, except the sensor on the nugget is the same size as the QHY5v, the QHY5 is a larger sensor, and therefore has a greater field of view so therefore it might be easier to locate a suitable guide star.

i think yankee robotics are now out of business...

so i would go with the QHY5
