I'm still interested in what Milton might recommend for planets/DSOs, assuming that a

firewire camera could do both well. I never got a response about my question regarding

the one cooled microscope camera on the list of supported cameras on Milton's website -

the Quantifire.

Your question seemed to be more of statement that you were going to look into the pricing of them - so I didn't think it needed an answer.

But considering it's a scientific camera with 4M pixels, it's likely very

expensive.

It depends son how much you want to spend and what you want to do with it.

The Optronics cameras are nice and the one I have here (I did the bulk of their Mac development work) has a huge 2/3" square CCD on it.

All the Cooled TE microscope cameras are expensive and need big honking external A/C power supplies.
