As Brian mentioned, exposures may be long, so get the most sensitive camera you can afford





Grumble, so, after spending most of the weekend researching the subject, decision was made last nite, the best bang for the buck on this would be the Qhy2-Pro. Decent sized sensor, good cooling, great sensativity, and low noise, all in a package that lands at a price point that wont stretch the budget. So, I phone the canadian distrubutor early this afternoon to order, and the response is:-

'Out of stock, discontinued item, likely cant get one anymore'.

I guess now that they have started shipping the 8.3 megapixel monochrome monster, they aren't going to be making the mid range one anymore.

We are back to square one choosing a camera....
