I wanna buy this camera to do deep sky imaging with my tracked 12” dobsonian telescope.Also I saw that I could use the camera to do planetary imaging

It's an old sensor, any reason why you're choosing it?

It's the uncooled version?

The cooled mono version

Ok that's not terrible, but it's very much something to use for dso imaging
And you need filters to use it properly

And you need filters to use it properly
For starting out, are LRGB filters good?
Do I need any other filters in the beginning?
I already have an uv ir cut filter from player one
polar owl
The uv/ir cut does the same as a L filter
Do you have another telescope to use it with? A mono setup on a dob doesn't sound too fun to use

No, I only have a 300mm lens

Mmh it's a weird situation
The sensor is old but the price makes it sort of worth it since it's mono
But the dob tells me no since you want to do long exposures with it

No, I’ll do lucky imaging with it

No, I’ll do lucky imaging with it
By "you want to do" I meant that ideally that's how you should use it
