S/H St8/10s etc pop up occassionally, but they are relitively low res.
Focus with Focusmax, once set up on an autofocuser, is in the order of 20 secs.

Cheers Fred - LOL re my insistence on WF!!!!
I've been looking at the SBIG ST8300 with its full frame sensor...

But it creeps towards 5K with a set of decent filters/wheel and adapters - friggin' silly money for an "entry level" CCD!! The OSC rules out NB stuff too! I think I'm repeating myself now!!
Swapping the filters aint too bad! Unless you're wearing gloves!!
