Hi Doug,
I think your confusing the Filter Wheel adapters and the QHY-9(C).
The Filter Wheel has the M54 threads, but as pointed out, it has a reducer/adapter which reduces this to "T" thread and a nose, which is the norm for cameras with ccd's of this size (Foot print/area).
This size thread (M54) was selected so as to accomodate larger size CCD's, and not limit the use to only small cameras.
The QHY-9(C), also has "T" thread as standard, and does not have M54 threads.
On Pixel size, both you guys are correct, the 8300's smaller size does provide better resolution, and the Sony chip has its benifits. Any KAF 8300 will do its job, and its just a matter of your local atomspheric conditions, equipment in hand and future needs that will make your final decision as to which way you turn.
Any hoot, back to you guys.
