+RonC Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 I'm not getting on very well with the Starlight Express SXV-H9 and thought of selling but, an SGL member has asked if I want to swap cams for a season (Winter). I'm posting my Starlight Express SXV-H9 to him and he's posting his QHY 8 to me this week in time for Kelling. We have agreed that if we like the cams we will do a permanent swap next Spring, if either one of us does not want to swap then we will return the cams then. But there is no pressure on either of us if we don't want to... It seems a way of testing the water, I want to try OSC he wants to try mono so we'll see how it goes and keep you posted.

+Graham Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Great camera the qhy 8. The processing can be a little tricky to start with I hear. Be interesting to see how you get on with it Ron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red dwalf Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 much the same as a canon camera but with cooling, nice big chip, i looked at one once but thought mono would give me more options Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ibbo Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 You will be losing out on the ha capability Ron. i don't know what your LP is like but colour is not great if you have a lot . My mate in Sheffield has one and really struggles with it. My advice is free and worth every penny but i would advise you to stick with the mono.

+RonC Posted August 28, 2018 Author Share Posted August 28, 2018 Well now it's plan B! Having both found out today what the postal costs are with insurance we talked on the phone and cancelled the swap !! Mine was nearly £15 and his £20+ so we decided not to swap, so Steve no problem with Ha now! Just RGB etc.. Cheers Ron (PS I did have second thoughts yesterday when I read a piece by Olly about the virtues of mono v ocs on SGL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
