Today
My setup since August 2014. Astrograph : Officina Stellare Veloce RH 200 ( 600 mm, f/3) Camera: SBIG STL 11000 M with Baader filters Mount: ASA DDM 60 Tripod: Meade Field Giant No guiding! Last time I've acuired two new cameras:ATIK ONE 6M giving with Veloce RH200 FOV 1.16o x 0.96o and resolution 1.27 arcsec/pixel.
FLI ML 8300 especially for trips to south of Europe, where fantastic cooling of FLI is important. I am using this camera with FSQ 106N and this setup giving FOV 1.95o x 1.46o and resolution 2.1 arcsec/pixel. It can be cooled -60 o C below ambient, than the matrix temperature in Greece or Croatia will be -30 o C. That's more than enough to decrease termic noise amount.
