Hey,
I would like to restart after at least 10 years to image planets.
I have a C11.
Camera suggestion?
Ty!!!

Planetary Camera for C11
Here's a mosaic of the Moon taken with the QHY5iii715C:

I really like that fact that because the pixels are so small on the QHY (1.49 microns), I don't need to use a barlow and let's face it, the best glass is no glass!

Ideally you want to have your focal ratio be approximately 5 times the the pixel size of your camera for average seeing conditions, and 7 times for above average. 678mc if your seeing conditions are overall average to above average. 715mc if you want to be oversampled and utilize the good seeing conditions. Both cameras will work with the C11 at its native focal ratio of f/10ish without the need for a barlow.
Helpful
Lowest noise, highest QE. Anything and everything will do that score high on both (and noise being more important than QE), just compare the specs. The only real question is Mono or OSC. If the latter I'd plump for the ASI662MC.

What camera do you already have? If you have a decent and recent cooled camera, you can use that to start.
I use the 2600 MC Duo with a 2.5 Barlow or a 715MC without Barlow on a C9.25. Gives the same resolution at the end.
on the 2600 I don’t need any filter, on the 715 I use a uv/ir and ordered ir pass filters to experiment.
hey
i have a poseidon monochrome camera…too hard to restart with mono camera i think…ty

ty for the answer...i need a barlow right? 2x? ty
*Yes, you want to shoot at around f/20.
