Sorry, the link doesn't get you to the product. Just type in 52098 as the product code.

Hi don...thing with a lot electronic components they are all probably sourced from same companies. .sold by their grade ..shipped off and built into different style casings and re branded for say orion..reading info by rock mallin he gives the supplier the spec he requires then does more work to them....after the way orion treated jim from nsn I wouldn't give them a penny...now if i had lots of pennies I would certainly buy a camera from rock mallin..his out take to astronomy and his cameras is very hard to beat going by reviews ive read.Davy. ...

Totally agree.
Even if Orion came out with a stunning camera for our interests, I wouldn't buy from them. They have absolutely no regard for Astronomers, just their bucks. Well, my bucks will get spent elsewhere.

Hi Don, the only thing i can say is that they both use the same sensor MT9M034, also the ZWO ASI camera uses the same sensor
The Orion camera looks very similar to the QHY5-ll maybe a rebadged QHY camera
Don't except to get a live view of The M51 as in the gallery, must be heavily processed as these sensors will fill your screen of hot/warm pixels as soon as the exposure starts going into the seconds exposure range. They are a good planetary camera for the price
I've not been able to play with the camera much but Chris has a ZWO and maybe he can post a few screen shots so you can see how they look

I've emailed M42Optics and sent them some screen shots of the error's and the log file that where coming up on screen and the head honcho himself replied and thanked me for the feedback and as identified a problem with the drivers.

Would be interested in the final build picture of the camera with the tec fitted..looking at the picture it shows just the tec,no heat sink or cooling fan. The way it is,I recon it would either burn out(heat created internally melts the solder joints) or without a heatsink and fan cooling the hot side it stops the cold side efficency reaching it's coldest temp. davy

yeah better design..the way it showed up in earlier pics ..I thought oops this aint going to work with no heatsink or fan..the bigger the heatsink and fan the quicker it removes heat from the hot side of the tec and that allows the colder side to go colder....much better pics in the English document ..davy

Looking at the No5 page with the peltier, just trying to work out the size of the Peltier as it can't be more than 3/4'' or 1'' squared.
As this is the 1st version out I'll wait till September for the CS-E model to come out with the stage 2 Peltier
