Hi all. I want to try my hand at astro imaging and was thinking of starting out with this camera http://www.telescope.com/control/product/~category_id=astro-imaging_camera/~pcategory=astro-imaging/~product_id=52080 I will be using it with my Orion 100mm f/6 achro Refractor and my cg5 mount. what do you guys think? what should I expect?
Thanks

I used the mono and loved it. I don't think you can do better at this price point. It's easy to use.

That's a great price on a nice camera. Keep an eye on the delivery dste though, it has been slipping for quite a while.

Thanks guys. I'm on a limited budget so this will get me started until I can afford something better.

Greg,
Do you remember the exposure times on your images and the number of subs? They are beautiful!
