The KAF8300 cameras are the best bang for your astrophotography buck at the moment. Kodak must have made a ton of them and its kept the cost down.

5.4 micron pixels suit a range of telescopes. They are starting to get a bit small when you get past 1500-2000mm focal length though.

Have a look at the long stream of superb astro images on this site that use the KAF8300. Its by far the most popular sensor and for good reason.

Imaging gets a whole lot more expensive and more difficult plus slower to process when you go up in size. File sizes get a lot larger and that makes processing slower and more time consuming.
