CCD & CMOS cameras
These are the main CCD & CMOS cameras I regularly use to image the Sun and Moon

Re: CCD & CMOS cameras
I use the GS3-U3-28S4M-C in all imaging sessions. It's my working horse.
The ASI174MM is also great but CMOS have considerable less dynamic range

Re: CCD & CMOS cameras
The GS3-U3-28S5M-C was the camera I used more often until I bought the GS3-U3-28S4M-C

Re: CCD & CMOS cameras
What is your experience in using the CCD vs the CMOS cameras?
Ease of use?
Dynamic range?
Newton's rings susceptibility?
Overall image quality?
Readout speed (frames/sec)?
Any easier to process one or the other?

Re: CCD & CMOS cameras
IMHO CCDs are much better compared to CMOS
pros (CCDs)
better dynamic range
less newton rings
better image quality
less noise
cons (CCDs)
lower readout speed
