I began My imaging journey with a DSLR (Canon Rebel XS). I quickly learned that my images would improve with a dedicated astronomy camera.
My latest addition to my arsenal is this APS-C sized mono camera. I have upgraded my filters to 2" Antlia in order to accommodate this massive sensor.
This was my first mono camera. I paired it with ZWO narrow band filters. This is a very nice camera, but has become somewhat outdated by today's technology. It is 16 megapixel 4/3” CMOS sensor with 4656x3520 resolution, 3.8μm pixels.
<Discontinued>
This was my first dedicated astro camera. It does a nice job and I still used it with my portable setup. However, I moved to shooting mono in order to get better resolution than with the OSC.
Although it suffers from amp-glow, this is a beast of a camera. The glow can easily be callibrated out using flats. In native bin-2 mode, the 4.61um pixel size is a great fit for my 130mm refractor. In bin-1 mode, the 2.3um pixels are a perfect fit for the 80mm wide-field refractor.
ZWO ASI 462
The 462MC is my main planetary camera and use it for lunar as well. High frame capture rate and nice resolution.
This is a great camera for solar imaging. The global shutter is fanastic. I pair this with my Quark Chromosphere on the AT80ED refractor.
This is a nice mono camera for white-light solar imaging. I generally use this for eclipse imaging.
ZWO ASI 715MC
The 715MC is my planetary camera that I use mainly for lunar. Good frame rate and small Pixels.
