Astrophotography

At some point I plan on a planetary camera. The choice hinges on what telescope I will be using / borrowing! My Seestars are not worthy! I'm leaning towards a Celestron NexStar 6SE (SCT). I used to own a C8, but that's just too large for regular use.

I use ChatGPT for discussions on planetary cams / barlow combinations

for planetary images.

First, let me start by thanking Joe, Gary, Tom and Brett for a very enjoyable and informative clinic this past Saturday. That said, I am looking for advice on the purchase of a planetary camera. What should I be looking for in terms of features, specifications and capabilities as well as manufacturers? Also, what should I avoid? Thanks for any suggestions you all have.
