Love it
I’ve had this camera for about a year now and it’s been everything and more that I could ask for. I use this with my 8” SCT and a reducer with the ASI Air and it’s been fantastic. I still have a lot of room the grow, and so does this camera. I can see myself with this for several more years. Very happy with the purchase. You won’t regret it if you buy this brand.

gold standard in my book
An silicon oil leak problem that got resolved in the 2600 model aside, this camera as well as the other models of this brand has never let me down.

Fast Frame Rate Great camera for Planets and even Deep space objects
This is a good camera from ZWO, Only problem I did not like was the Excessive AMP Glow, although it's easy to fix with calibration flats, it was very pronounced. If this camera is in your budget range it is a very good camera small light and good for portable Rigs. I would recommend this to a friend.

Versatile and high quality
I haven't imaged any sky objects yet (cloudy this week). However, I installed the ZWO driver and studio application and tried out the camera and software on a terrestrial target. Once I was oriented, I found the studio software quite intuitive. The only function that I had trouble finding was the cooler control, which is found in a pop-up window under the Control section of the interface. (The studio application downloaded documentation fails to mention this at all.) Neither did I have any problem mounting the camera to the axial port of my telescope, using a port-to-T2 adapter from Costruzioni Ottiche Meccaniche Lolli Adriano (Italy). The only glitch is that when the camera and adapter are tightened down, the image on the sensor is oriented at an odd angle (horizon is not parallel to the top/bottom of the image frame). This is not a show-stopper for astro-photography although I suspect it will complicate fine target positioning using the laptop screen. On the other hand, the focus setting through the eyepiece and on the sensor (when the light path is switched to the axial port) is unchanged - a valuable boon. I will update the review once I've used the setup for some actual night sky photography.
