Which zwo camera ?

ginandtonic

Need to replace my ageing mallincam xtreme camera (first generation, the one you have to wait 3 minutes each time after you change any of the settings).

Which Zwo color camera would be the best for deep sky video astronomy, short exposure ? (around 1minute), with say 10 frame stacking in Sharpcap or similar ?

I intend to use it with my Celestron 8hd with hyperstar (but sometimes I want to use it also without the hyperstar lens).

Is the newly announced ASI071MC with its large chip any good for this?

Or maybe the ASI1600? Do I need the cooled version? (I'm NOT going to do long exposures followed by processing with other software)

Thanks in advance.

071 can give a larger field of view and 1600 has higher resolution

I think maybe 071 is better for video astronomy as the pixel size is larger
