yep, the KAI04022 with 7.4 micron pixels seems to me to be a good option - QSI have a 640 camera with the chip, as do SX and Atik etc. Maybe there is not enough demand in AUS for Bintel to stock one?
The QE and noise specs of the 4022 are a bit below the latest chips, but it should still be fine with reasonably long exposures. However, it would be nice to have someone with more experience of Kodak chips to provide an opinion - I have only ever used Sony based cameras. The 4022 also has the advantage of only needing 1.25 filters, which is significant if you are looking to do narrowband imaging.
If you wanted to go above your budget, you may consider the bigger 11002 - or even the 3200 NABG chip if you can live with blooming.
There must be others out there with the RC10 - would be nice to know what they have done.
