Telescope

Kilo for Kilo the best value to performance ratio astrograph on the market in my opinion, if you stick to no larger than a 35mm sensor its just perfect. The FSQ is twice the price for less resolution and the stars are not as good with the new generation small pixel cameras we are now using. Its also blisteringly fast F/3.3 so will get a lot of data in very short order.

CMOS Camera

The ZWO ASI-6200MM Pro Mono CMOS is one of Sony's new generation zero ampglow sensors. They are super sensitive with very low noise. Making them a paradym shift from the CCD cameras we are all used to using and require much shorter exposures.

Pier-14 is a very fast F/3.3 when used with a CMOS sensor the longest exposure needed for this pier is 180 seconds
