Fantastic camera.
I originally purchased 2 other cameras, they were ok, but this one is absolutely wonderful. The quality of videos and still shots are 100% clearer & vivid. I was able to capture multiple shots of both Mars and Jupiter with no problems :) I'm still a new-bee to astrophotography, but with this camera, it changes everything!!

Awesome camera.
Love this camera. Far better quality than a couple of the other planetary type cameras I own. I do kind of wish I'd purchased the cooled version of this camera, but I have managed some nice deep space images with this camera. So far its always done a fantastic job at everything I've photographed anything that didn't turn out good was operator error.
