There are lots of much less expensive CCD alternatives that are just as sensitive to the gear I happen to be using at the moment, they just have smaller arrays.

$1k a pic is just a silly throw away remark..... I've taken tens of thousands of CCD frames in the last 20 years....some admittedly quite tragic, some not bad....in any event I'm probably down to 5 cents a frame by now

It's still a cheap hobby compared to yachting!
