Thanks Richard.

I read those threads and looked at the ZWO Website. A mono version of the Olympus OMD sensor. Sounds good overall. The few sample images were not though very good except for the M51 image which was quite good.

A bit early to comment but this may be more an alternative to cooled DSLR imaging.

When an APSc sized Sony Exmor R sensor or 35mm full frame mono CMOS sensor gets into one of these it could be very good. Imagine a mono version of the Sony A7s sensor?
