Hi astrams! Quick question, I disconnected myself from the cam market for two years, and when I come back I don't recognise anything!

I have a Flextube 300p which allows me to have quite a lot of fun on the planet with a 224mc and TS optics 2.5x apo // Televue x4 x5 barlows.
I'm looking at mono cams now, as I already have the necessary range of filters (UV, UV-IR cut, IR Pass, RGB, K-Line, UHC).
What are the interesting proposals on the market for my setup? Mainly for planetary, some moon and sun high def.
The complexity of shooting and post-processing amuses me quite a lot and I'm looking to make up for it mainly in sensitivity (which is gently lacking on a Venus in Ir pass or UV for example) and above all the desire to try! Any suggestions?

Not much difference at all. I just find player one have been better recently.

Depends what you can get for your location, and cheapest

Yeah I’m surprised how good the mirrors are optically

Given its factory built

oh yeah, I was looking at the player one website which is 250$

#

I did get mine for guiding from touptek for much cheaper but you can't really attach a filter wheel to that

#

I think?
