I've been imaging with a Canon 60Da on my Tak TSA-120 with success for the last year. I am now looking into getting a CCD camera with an 8300 size sensor and filter wheel.
Among the cameras I have been looking at are the QSI 683wsg and the FLI ML8300.
Both look like good cameras. Price and options differences aside, I have the impression the FLI camera and required gear would be much heavier. My concern is that the 2.7" focuser on my TSA would flex a little. I also have the impression that the QSI camera would be lighter (also less expensive with everything factored in).
As a going in gameplan, I would be looking to get either camera setup with either an internal or external filterwheel, complete with normal LRGB and standard narrowband filters. My mount is a Paramount MX.
Anyway, I appreciate any feedback from anyone who has used either of these cameras on a scope like mine, or at least a focuser like mine.
