What is the more skilled Astrophotographers attraction towards the 11002 CCD Sensor. I have noted the increase number of for sale/trade ads for cameras with Kodak KAF-16803 where the seller is looking to move to cameras with the Kodak KAF-11002 sensor. I thought the Kodak KAF-16803 was the ducks guts and when first released there was the trend to move from Kodak KAF-11002 to the Kodak KAF-16803, now it seems to be going in reverse. Whilst the pixel size, @ 9 micron, is the same for both sensors it seems a backwards trend towards a sensor with a reduced number of pixels in a smaller array.
