I don't think we will see images from the megabuck systems on this forum. Kinda like seeing the 200" Palomar on the reflector forum.

Hi Guys,
I have not made any decision 100% in any direction.
It just seems that the Mellincam Extreme fits criteria at a very reasonable price with minimum to zero changes.
Similar decision for purchasing my Tak Mewlon 300 and Tak EM400 mount some years back.
They were not the cheapest and also not the most expensive possibility on the market.
However they did represent a high quality turnkey solution.
I will probably put much more research into some of the other cameras but as mentioned I am only just starting out on Live Video Astronomy so have a lot to learn and understand which is why I asked for opinions and advice.
Cheers

What is "megabuck" to you? $3000 might be megabuck to some.

Well to me anything over $1000 is too much...no matter what it does. Any single piece of equipment over $1000 is out. When you get past that mark the bang for buck declines rapidly. This hobby is fun, but I have no illusions that I will discover anything that hasn't already been seen about 20 billion times. My current camera was $130 used. It is the same camera sold by Gstar as their black and white unit. It does quite well. I will get a color unit eventually, but I am not breaking the bank to do it.
