Re: imaging camera
I wouldn't go anywhere near either of them. What's your budget?

Re: imaging camera
Are you using a decent pc / laptop to capture to?

Re: imaging camera
genuinely I think you need to spend a little more on a camera, I think the only ones you have access to at the price point are ones like the QHYs, and I think very quickly you will find their limitations out. If you can push your budget a £100 more there is the Blacfly IMX249 which I think is cheapest entry level priced camera to aim for. Speak to Rupert at Astrograph, he will know exactly what to advise http://astrograph.net/epages/www_astrog ... no_Cameras

Re: imaging camera
Very good but it is a small chip so you may have to do a lot of mosaic work to get a full disc, but it does depend on your scope as well.
