I have an ASKAR 103 (700mm, f6.8) - I know, it’s not ideal for
Planets, but that’s what I have…
Which planetary Cam would you recommend? I have a Barlow 2x at home…
ASI662? ASI678? Or any better suggestions?!
THANKS

715mc without the barlow, or 662, 664 or 585 with your barlow.

Because you already have the barlow, the 662mc is the least expensive option.

The 585 is interesting if you plan to do more with the camera than planets. The larger sensor could (just) fit the moon it seems ?
