Sounds like you're looking for other options

When it comes to resolution, it might be worth considering a little more focal length and a larger sensor. Full frame DSLRs/mirrorless cameras are relatively inexpensive today compared to just a few years ago.

That way, you can tune both your FOV and resolution as desired...
You're both absolutely correct, my first thought was just to buy a full frame DSLR/mirrorless camera which would give me the FOV without the expense of a new scope, I'm just a bit nervous about going in that direction as I'm only just getting proficient with the CCD.
I was afraid it might be step backwards with no cooling. I'd have to say I'm impressed by the results achieved with DSLR's though & I haven't ruled that out. I'm interested in your views on that too.
Thanks for the input.
Tony
