Great camera - great price Ive been wanting an IMX571 for a while. Gain 100 seems to be fine for DSO. Same BF as ZWO. This new model (not pictured) takes a bolt on ZWO EFW (2in). I use the rings from my ASI294 to get 55mm. Works out of box with both N.I.N.A and Kstars using native drivers (5 sessions already). Top marks. (12/09/2023) nick - merseyside
