Hi fellow APs,
until now i used a ASI120MM-S (mono) as an autoguider and the ASI178MC (color) for imaging. Due to an update i will use a new 294MC Pro as imaging camera in the future. So now i have two cams available for autoguiding. Which one should i use? I am using a 8" RC (203/1624) with an OAG, see this image: OAG.
From the manufacturers website i know that the 178 (178 specs) is less noisy compared to the 120 (120 specs). But i believe the 120 to be more sensitive due to its monochrome sensor. Am i right or did i misunderstood the diagrams? Which decision should i make? Are there any obvious advantages / disadvantages i do not see?
Any advice appreciated, thanks and greetings,
Michael
