Just finally got my HQ cam in the mail. Still waiting for my c-to-t adapter before I can properly test.
12mp is excessive and, as someone mentioned, light sensitivity is not the best, so I was thinking of doing the following:
1. Mate it with a svbony guidescope (30mm aperture, 120mm focal; not the widest but better than the official rp hq cam lenses, and a solid fixed focuser).
2. Do pixel binning - dual advantage of reducing file size and increasing sensitivity. Still will have sufficient angle per pixel since I’m planning on using a aps-c sensor dslr with a 200-600mm focal as main imager

Will try and work out the software kinks waiting for the c-to-t adapter, and the guiding thereafter. Will let you know how that goes!
