Their are unlikely to make something bigger without potential to make a good profit. Compared with DSLRs, astro cameras are a small market.

Yes the full frame sensors are likely to be CMOS. But with the latest Sony CMOS you have to wonder if CCD is still better than CMOS as an imaging chip. I don't really know but I think it had a lot of potential now it may have lacked before.
