Both cameras did well and they are close. However, I think the QHY-5L-II-M gave slightly better results especially with the closeup views. None of these images were cropped, only the brightness, contrast, exposure was adjusted in Photoshop. The QHY-5L-II-M Image 4 showing the crater Plato was rotated so it matched T3i Image 3.

Image 5 was taken on April 16, the night of the ISS Transit through the Orion 80 mm Short Tube refractor. I had this recording but it shut off right before the transit occurred. Fortunately I got with the Canon T3i mounted on the Orion ED80. For a comparison of ED80 vs. the ST80 look at Image 1.
