Two photos of the same target taken 3 years apart with different cameras.  Which do you prefer?  The Sony was 25 hrs integration time and the ZWO ASI1600MM was 5.5 hrs.

I like the Sony image.  Better details and colors look nicer to my eye.  What are you hoping to see from the comparison?  Is it the same scope?  I think the 25 hour integration looks much better than the 5 hour.
