Which do you think is the best monochrome planetary camera? Why?

Hi,

i think the imx290 base camera’s are currently the best if you insist on going mono. If color camera is ok you can co for the imx462 based camera’s, which act monochrome with an IR-pass filter. 

reason:
low noise
high sensitivity
high frame rate
small pixels (hig resolution without barlow)

Kind regards,

Wouter
