I bought a ASI678MC. I got raw 16bit image using ASIStudio. I found some strange patterns in the raw 16bit image. There are very small(1 pixel size) periodic squre patterns on the image. What is wrong? ashy6868@gmail.com. I think the pattern is bayer pattern.

Olivier Batteux – :
Hello,
Regarding noise and capacity, what will be the best camera for planetary imaging between 678MC and 662MC ? Will they be better than the 224 MC ?
I already have a 224 MC but I use it as autoguider for deep sky, and it would be better not to have to dismount it for planetary imaging.
I would like to buy another camera for planetary imaging, but when one will be better than the 224 MC.
Regards

The QE of 662 is higher than 678, and it also has a bigger full well and a lower price.
If you want a camera with big format and high resolution, I recommend you 585MC.
