While the sensor technology is definitely an improvement, I am now regretting the tiny sensor size of the MiniCam 8, especially after picking up the Seestar S30 Pro (Same sensor, but OSC). Ideally, I'd be going for the ZWO 2600MM Pro, but I'm currently working on selling some gear to make up for the difference in my current Astro budget and the price of a better camera. Other than the 2600MM Pro, what other good options are there for a larger sensor, but with the newer sensor tech that I've enjoyed from the MiniCam 8? All input is appreciated, thanks again, clear skies and dark nights. Amatuer Astrophotographer since 2020.
