A big difference between the scorpions and the Imaging Source cameras is bits per pixel;

Scorpion 10, Imaging Source 8.

I bought one:  a 14SOM   It was too good to pass up.

I've only use Astro IIDC once, with a borrowed camera, and still produced one of my best images.  http://finkh.wordpress.com
