Terry,
To avoid (more) possible confusion here`s the link to the Pt Grey site...scroll down to Flea 3 tab click on it, then on the models tab...

Terry,
If you`re referring to Chris Go`s recent transition to using the Flea 3, a recent response from him to me on the SCT user group gives more detail on which chip, therefore camera he`s using. He says his is the ICX618 mono chip which would mean the FL3-FW-0321M-C camera..If you scroll down to Flea 3 here & click on Models you can check yourself. He`s saying his new Flea 3 is 2x more sensitive than than the ICX098BL chip which I guess is his old TIS DMK 21...?
Mine is the Flea 2, FL2-03S2C-C colour CCD which is not as sensitive as the comparative mono chip.

I am heading out to the observatory for a few hours of imaging Venus, Mars and Saturn. I understand the Flea3 is now the best camera for planetary imaging - or is there yet another?
