Which camera to choose?
Normally, mono camera sensors are with higher sensitivity, better at high-demand shooting tasks.
But extra accessories will be needed, such as filter wheel and filters, etc. Post processing of image
is also complicated, thus we recommend the color cameras to fresh users.
TEC cooling will help to reduce dark current noise for long exposures. For short exposures, such
as under one second, the dark current noise is very low. So cameras without TEC cooling are
normally recommend for planetary imaging. For DSO imaging, we recommend you use cooled
camera since long exposures are required.
