QSI-683wsg8

I've had mine (also the same setup) since 2012 and it's still going strong taking excellent images. Yes, CMOS seems to be taking over in many areas, partly forced by sensor manufacturers abandoning CCD in favour of the cheaper CMOS, but that doesn't mean that CCD is now worthless! The QSI cameras in particular are robust and reliable. (Hope this doesn't tease the camera gods!) And the Hubble Space Telescope seems happy enough with its CCD sensors! I daresay if my beloved QSI 683wsg8 eventually and irreparably bites the dust, CMOS will be on the cards. But not yet! I had a brief encounter with an OSC CMOS camera, but soon reverted to Old Faithful. You'll find a description of that on my web site, or link direct here: Cheers, Peter.

Just a thought, John,

You will have seen from my earlier response that I already have that camera and am very happy with it. But I am wondering with what camera if any you are going to replace the QSI. Cheers, Peter. Approx. 55 deg N, 2 deg W (Northumberland, UK) On 05/07/2023 15:27, John Bartucci wrote:

John,
I recently sold this same setup minus the Lodestar. I was able to get only $1500 with the filters on Cloudy Nights. I had gotten great use out of the camera and replaced it with a QSI6162wsg. I've always appreciated the QSI design incorporating the filter wheel and guide port. The overall quality of QSI cameras is much superior (IMHO) to some of the CMOS cameras on the market. I have a full-frame OSC from a manufacturer I won't name. I added a filter and off-axis guide port to it, while a fine camera it looks like a Rube Goldfarb machine.?

Loving the 6162!
