What we liked
- + Wider sensor than typical planetary cams makes it easier to frame the Moon and keep planets on chip
- + USB 3.0 transfer supports the high frame rates needed for lucky imaging
- + Color sensor delivers natural planetary images without a filter wheel
Trade-offs
- - 2.12 MP resolution is too low for detailed wide-field deep-sky imaging
- - Uncooled design adds noise during longer exposures on faint targets
