Myth #1: CMOS cameras are always inferior to CCDs.
Reality: Advances in CMOS tech have closed the gap, offering comparable sensitivity and noise levels.
Myth #2: CMOS cameras can’t capture faint deep-sky objects well.
Reality: Modern cooled CMOS cameras excel at deep-sky imaging with high quantum efficiency and low noise.
Myth #3: CMOS cameras are easier to use and require no calibration.
Reality: Like any astronomy camera, CMOS models need proper calibration and settings for best results.
Understanding these myths helps you choose and use your CMOS camera confidently.
